    After ensuring that your chosen property meets the investment requirement, your next step is to engage a lawyer who is experienced in Turkish immigration law and the Citizenship by Investment process.

  2. Lawyer Handles the Application:
    Your lawyer will manage the entire application process on your behalf. They will ensure that all documentation is correctly submitted, including your property purchase, residency permit, and eventual citizenship application.

  3. Receive Your Turkish Passport:
    Upon successful approval of your citizenship application, your lawyer will guide you through the final steps, including collecting your Turkish ID and passport. The application for these documents is submitted to the relevant Turkish authorities through your legal representative.
