The citizenship application will no longer be submitted with joint ownership, according to the new circular, if the foreign applicant shares his property rights on the title deed with another real or legal person, he cannot apply for Turkish citizenship with the said property, the property must be in the name of one person.
There are no restrictions on the number of properties to be purchased or the type of property, it is possible to apply for Turkish citizenship with one or more real estate options such as residence, place of work, land or farm at a total selling price of at least 400,000 US dollars.
