Residency Permit Options for Adult Children in the Turkish Citizenship Process
If your children are above the age of 18, they will not be eligible to obtain Turkish citizenship directly through your application. However, you and your spouse can still secure Turkish passports, while your adult children have the option to apply for a residency permit.
Key Points:
-
Citizenship for Parents:
Both you and your spouse can apply for and receive Turkish citizenship through the citizenship by investment program. -
Residency Permits for Adult Children:
Your children, even if they are over 18, can apply for a residency permit. This option allows them to live, work, or study in Turkey, although they will not have the same rights as citizens. -
Further Pathways:
Once your children have established residency in Turkey, they may explore options to apply for Turkish citizenship on their own after meeting the necessary criteria, including residing in Turkey for a certain period and fulfilling other requirements.
This arrangement allows for your entire family to benefit from the advantages of residing in Turkey, even if your adult children need to follow a different pathway toward permanent residency or citizenship in the future.
