Important reasons that push foreigners to obtain Turkish citizenship

Citizenship rights

Turkish citizenship guarantees you the full benefit of the civil and political citizenship rights that it provides to its citizens of equal social opportunities, equality, justice, the right to vote, run for office and practice religious rites.

It also guarantees you the economic and social rights of citizenship to have a decent life, enjoy Health Care, Social Security, Education Services, Job Opportunities in government sectors, investment facilities and own real estate in Turkey .

In return, it does not ask you for the simple duties of citizenship, such as paying taxes, respecting the rights of others, abiding by the laws and not doing anything that threatens national security.

Dual nationality

It is intended to allow one person to hold the citizenship of at least two countries, and out of the 195 countries in the world, there are 51 countries that prohibit multiple citizenship, and fortunately Turkey is not among them and does not require that you give up your original citizenship in order to become a Turkish citizen, and this is an important positive point for people who do not want to lose their original citizenship and at the same time enjoy the advantages of multi-nationality such as owning real estate and opening financial accounts, and you should know whether your country of Origin allows multiple citizenship or not before taking any step.

The power of the Turkish passport

Having a passport allows you to enter 111 countries without a visa, with the possibility of obtaining a visa in advance to enter 103 countries.. This is extremely important for investors, businessmen, travel lovers and all people with different motives, especially in light of the political unrest experienced by many countries in the Arab region, which hinders the desire of their citizens to move and move between the countries of the world.

Inviting relatives to Turkey

Turkish law allows a holder of Turkish citizenship to invite his relatives to Turkey and facilitate obtaining a visa to enter Turkish territory, and the law does not require that they be first-degree relatives of the owner of the invitation, which gives them a good opportunity to visit the country and tourism and enjoy turkey and its wonderful atmosphere.

Military service

As is known, most countries of the world impose compulsory military service or what is known as conscription on their citizens as a mandatory duty.since you have become a Turkish citizen, it is natural that you have a duty to the country of your citizenship, but you will be surprised to know that the Turkish government, after granting you citizenship, will not require you to do the due military service on every citizen as long as you are over the age of 22.

If you are not over the age of 22 at the time, Turkish law gives you the right to postpone the performance of military national service for two years from the date of obtaining Turkish citizenship, which allows the naturalized person to settle and integrate into society until he is ready and then be called up.

Granting citizenship to wife and children

Obtaining Turkish citizenship gives your family the automatic right to take citizenship for your wife and children under the age of 18 and enjoy all the rights of citizenship in Turkey as mentioned, and we must remind you that owning citizenship is for life and even with the succession of governments, the Turkish constitution guarantees you the right to maintain citizenship.

Investing in Turkey

This reason is considered one of the strongest reasons for foreigners to settle in Turkey and obtain its citizenship, as it encouraged the Turkish economy, its stability and growth, the availability of Labor, infrastructure and strategic location of capital and investors.

The worst inflation crises that the world is going through now have not derailed the Turkish economy, and the efforts of the Turkish government to raise the percentage of its exports and the growing demand for tourism have made the Turkish economy the fastest in the group of twenty.

As is well known, the Turkish government provides many incentives and facilities to carry out procedures and obtain investment permits for investors in general, but at the same time it specifies a certain amount that allows foreigners to invest in its territory and is not accepted without that, but in the event that you have become a Turkish citizen, you are not required by that condition and you can invest any amount you want and in any field.
