What are the Main Advantages of Turkish Citizenship?
What are the main advantages of Turkish Citizenship? Or is Turkish citizenship worth it? There are several benefits of gaining Turkish citizenship. At the beginning, the acquisition of Turkish citizenship for foreigners provides a legal stay in Turkey under Article 21 of Law on Foreigners and International Protection (Numbered 6458). A citizen is also considered to enjoy various rights from one side and also responsibilities on the other, as a member of a nation or community. The lack of citizenship may turn into a complex dispute beyond national borders by presenting a challenge between nations rather than individuals.
How to get Turkish Citizenship?
Acquiring Turkish citizenship can be achieved through several main routes, each designed to cater to different circumstances. The primary methods recognized by Turkish law are citizenship by investment, marriage, descent, and long-term residency (naturalization).
Here is a summary of the most common ways to get Turkish citizenship in 2025:
Turkish Citizenship by Investment
This is the fastest and most popular route for foreign nationals. It requires a significant financial contribution to the Turkish economy. The main options include:
Real Estate Investment: Purchasing one or more properties with a total value of at least $400,000 USD.
Bank Deposit or Capital Investment: Depositing a minimum of $500,000 USD into a Turkish bank or making an equivalent capital investment in government bonds, funds, or a Turkish company.
Job Creation: Establishing a business that creates full-time employment for at least 50 Turkish citizens. The key condition for all investment routes is that the investment must be held for a minimum of three years.
Turkish Citizenship by Marriage
Turkish citizenship by marriage is subject to certain conditions. You may be eligible to apply for Turkish citizenship if you have been married to a Turkish citizen for at least three years. The authorities will conduct an investigation and interview to ensure that the marriage is genuine and was entered into for the purpose of forming a family, not solely for acquiring citizenship.
Turkish Citizenship by Descent
This pathway is based on ancestry. If you have at least one Turkish parent, you are eligible to claim Turkish citizenship by birth, regardless of your own country of birth. The process involves registering the birth through the relevant Turkish consulate or domestic authorities.
Turkish Citizenship by Naturalization (Long-Term Residency)
Foreign nationals who have lived in Turkey for five continuous years with a valid residence permit can apply for citizenship. Applicants must meet several additional criteria, including:
Not having been outside of Turkey for more than 180 days in total during the 5-year period.
Demonstrating a basic proficiency in the Turkish language.
Having a stable income to support themselves in Turkey.
Having a clean criminal record and not posing a threat to national security.
Each of these pathways involves a distinct set of legal procedures and required documentation. To determine your eligibility and ensure a smooth application process, it is highly recommended to consult with an expert Turkish citizenship lawyer.
