Recently, the Turkish government has amended the law of property based citizenship obtaining in Turkey in case the property worth 250 thousand US dollars and more. The amendments include many aspects that we previously talked about in individual articles, but today we collect all the amendments in one article.
• Those who benefited from the law of obtaining Turkish citizenship by owning a property are not allowed to sell the property after three years to a person with the same nationality as the original owner of the property, as he can sell it to a Turkish citizen or to any person with a nationality other than the nationality of the original owner, and if the property is sold to a person of the same nationality as the property owner, the new buyer will not be able to obtain Turkish citizenship by owning this property.
• Those who bought the property to obtain Turkish citizenship are not allowed to resell it to the original owner from whom he bought the property, even if he is a Turkish citizen, and thus this amendment canceled the guarantee agreement that the buyer and seller used to use it in order to resell the property to the seller after three years in order for the buyer to obtain Turkish citizenship.
• Any forgery or tampering of documents related to obtaining Turkish citizenship, even if it is only a note, may cause to the withdrawal of Turkish citizenship from the property owner in addition to a fine.
Thus, investors have sufficient information about the amendments issued by the Turkish government in the fourth month of April of 2021 regarding obtaining Turkish citizenship by owning a property in Turkey.
