Foreign investors can exceptionally acquire Turkish citizenship under Article 12 of the Turkish Citizenship Law. For investors to acquire Turkish citizenship, the primary requirement is to make a certain amount of investment. With the amendments made by Presidential Decree No. 106 dated 18.09.2018, reductions have been made in the amounts specified in Article 20 of the Regulation on the Implementation of the Turkish Citizenship Law.
In this article, we will briefly explain the steps involved in securing Turkish citizenship through investment.
The First Step: Initial Consultation During the Investment Process
We recommend you begin working with aSons for a safe investment process before you make your investment. Citizenship procedures are subject to strict form requirements and meticulous documentation.

This could involve purchasing real estate, making a capital investment, creating jobs, or other qualifying investments. Our team will assist you in choosing the best investment option that suits your needs and complies with Turkish regulations.
The Third Step: Obtaining the Certificate of Conformity for Your Investment
The conformity of your investment must be approved by the relevant authority for your citizenship application. Therefore, the Certificate of Conformity must be obtained. This certificate confirms that your investment meets the criteria set forth by Turkish law. Our team will handle the application process for this certificate, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
The Fourth Step: Obtaining Your Residence Permit
With your Certificate of Conformity and other relevant documents, you can apply for a residence permit. The institution handling your residence permit application will submit your application to the Directorate General of Immigration Authority. Our legal team will assist in preparing and submitting all necessary documentation to facilitate a smooth application process.
The Fifth Step: Citizenship Application
After receiving your residence permit, the next step is to submit your citizenship application to the Provincial Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs. Our team will prepare your citizenship application file, ensuring it includes all required documents and meets all legal standards. The file is then sent to the Directorate General of Population and Citizenship Affairs for review.
The Sixth Step: Fulfillment of Necessary Examinations and Queries
An archival research is conducted to determine whether the applicant has any conditions that may pose a threat to national security or public order. If the archival research is favorable, the application is submitted to the Ministry Authority, which then forwards it to the Presidency for final approval.
The Seventh Step: Passport and ID Issuance
Upon the decision of the Presidency for the acquisition of citizenship, the relevant person acquires Turkish citizenship. Our team will assist you in obtaining your Turkish passport and ID, ensuring that all procedures are followed correctly and efficiently.
