Residency & Citizenship Solutions Worldwide

Overview

Turkey offers various pathways to acquire citizenship, primarily through commercial partnership, naturalization, or exceptional merit. The most popular route is the Turkey Citizenship by commercial partnership (CBI) program, which allows eligible foreign nationals to obtain Turkish citizenship by meeting specific financial or economic criteria. This initiative is designed to boost foreign direct commercial partnership and stimulate the local economy. In addition to partners, long-term residents, individuals married to Turkish citizens, and individuals of Turkish descent may qualify for citizenship under different conditions.
