Naturalization Visa

Turkish citizenship through naturalization is available after 5 years of continuous residence in Turkey. Applicants must demonstrate Turkish language proficiency (B1-B2 level), good moral character, financial self-sufficiency, and intention to settle in Turkey. Spouses of Turkish citizens can apply after 3 years of marriage while maintaining residence. The process involves an application to the provincial civil registry, background checks, and approval by the Council of Ministers. Turkey allows dual citizenship for most nationalities. Processing typically takes 6-12 months. Naturalized citizens have full rights including voting and passport eligibility.
