Turkish citizenship is a legal process, not a paperwork exercise. Every route has its own eligibility conditions, documentation standards and interview practice — and small mistakes in the file are the most common reason applications stall or fail. As attorneys registered with the Ankara Bar, we manage your application before the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, respond to requests for additional documents, and challenge unlawful rejections before the administrative courts.
Everything happens in plain English: your documents, our advice and every status update along the way.

Questions
Turkish Citizenship — frequently asked
How long does citizenship by investment take?
A well-prepared investment file typically concludes in 6–12 months from filing, including the conformity certificate stage. Timelines vary with the Directorate’s workload; we track your file at every stage and keep you informed.
Can my spouse and children be included?
Your spouse and children under 18 can apply together with you in the investment route. For other routes, family members generally follow with their own linked applications — we plan this at the assessment stage.
Do I need to speak Turkish or live in Türkiye?
The investment route requires neither continuous residence nor a language exam. Residence-based applications require five years of uninterrupted legal residence.
What if my application is rejected?
Rejections can be challenged — first by administrative objection, then by annulment lawsuit before the administrative courts. Deadlines are short and strict, so contact us as soon as you receive a decision.
