Often, having visited Turkey, Russians fall in love with this hospitable country with picturesque nature, washed by four seas. Someone has an idea to buy an apartment or a house and move, especially since housing prices are democratic here compared to European countries. And getting a residence permit is quite simple here. But with the acquisition of citizenship, the situation is somewhat complicated.
Instructions
Step 1
To obtain Turkish citizenship, you can purchase housing in this country. If you own an apartment or a house, then you can safely live there for 5 years. After the expiration of the term, you can apply for citizenship. To buy and register a home, you need to obtain a residence permit by opening an account of $ 3,000 - for six months, $ 6,000 - for 2 years. It is issued within a week. You need to issue a tax number at the office - for this you need a passport. It is also necessary to register with the migration service. After that, you can proceed with the selection and registration in the Turkish cadastral office of the sale and purchase agreement of the property you like. After the house is bought, you need to go through a check at the military department. But it can take several months. But if the go-ahead is received, there is no need to renew the residence permit. And after five years of residence in the country, you can apply for Turkish citizenship.
Step 2
You can obtain Turkish citizenship by working under a contract, having received an invitation from an employer or a business partner, starting your own business or enrolling in a higher educational institution. The work permit is valid for a year, then it will need to be renewed. After 5-8 years, you can apply for citizenship.
Step 3
At first glance, the easiest way for Russian women is to marry a Turk. It should only be taken into account that the official religion of Turkey is Islam, so the bride will have to change her religion and become a Muslim with all the ensuing consequences. Among other things, it is difficult to get along with a man under one roof, to build a family life with a person of a native mentality, not to mention a foreigner. Having married a Turk, in the first three years of marriage you will have to apply for a residence permit and actively learn the language, after which you can start collecting documents for obtaining citizenship: application form; apostille of a Russian passport; photocopies of a residence permit valid for at least six months; marital status documents; ownership of property (if any); a certificate obtained by passing the language proficiency exam at the Turkish Ministry of Education; a health certificate certified by the Russian Consulate in Turkey; apostille of the birth certificate; 2 color photographs. It is sad that the collected and submitted package of documents does not guarantee citizenship. Refusal possible.
