Immigration to Turkey
Turkey is an attractive country to live in. Pleasant climate, friendly multicultural environment, good opportunities for doing business – this is not the whole list of advantages for which a significant part of Ukrainians choose this country as a place for permanent residence.
If you are interested in a residence permit or citizenship of Turkey, you can contact our team with such a request. Migration law is one of the important areas of professional activity for the specialists of the law firm “Prіkhodko&Partners”, so we regularly work in this area.
Obtaining Turkish citizenship: advantages
One of the key advantages that citizens of other countries consider in such topics is that when obtaining Turkish citizenship, you do not need to renounce the citizenship that you currently have. Simply put, dual citizenship is allowed.
Turkish citizenship is attractive not only due to the numerous advantages of this country. It is often sought after due to the ease of acquisition. This opportunity is available to anyone who has legally lived in this country for 5 years or more, having previously obtained a permanent residence permit.
For people who buy real estate in Turkey for an amount of 400 thousand dollars or more, the opportunity to obtain Turkish citizenship is even simpler. The whole procedure can take 6-8 months.
Another big plus for investors is the opportunity to become a Turkish citizen for investment. In addition, a large selection of available investment formats is significant – investing in a business, purchasing securities, making a deposit in a bank, opening a certain number of jobs within the framework of entrepreneurial activity.
When clients contact us with a request regarding the desire to obtain Turkish citizenship for investment, we carefully analyze it and tell about all available opportunities. For those who have decided to follow this path, it is important to:
- carefully analyze the investment opportunities that Turkey opens up for those wishing to obtain its citizenship;
- choose the best option for yourself, based on the available amount, interest in specific areas of investment and prospects;
- make investments in accordance with the norms of Turkish legislation in order to bypass all the “pitfalls” of the area and risks.
For those who do not have experience in making investments in Turkey, it is advisable to use legal support, which will greatly facilitate this process. And now let’s touch on the issue of obtaining a residence permit.
Residence permit in Turkey
Not everyone has the opportunity to obtain Turkish citizenship on the basis of investment activity. And some do not set such a goal for themselves and consider it sufficient to issue a residence permit. By the way, the permit also opens up many opportunities. For example, this applies to the opportunity to purchase housing on a mortgage.
The residence permit in Turkey is called “Ikamet”. Let’s consider one of the options for obtaining Ikamet for foreigners who have already purchased real estate in this country. So, in addition to the application itself, you will need to provide a package of supporting documents. These include a passport (original and copy), a certificate of ownership of the real estate you have (original and copy), an extract from the land cadastre and valid medical insurance.
Of course, not all foreigners have the financial opportunity to purchase real estate in Turkey in order to obtain a residence permit in this country. So let’s consider more accessible types of permits. They can be conditionally divided into 3 groups:
- tourist;
- humanitarian;
- international protection.
Let’s start with a tourist permit. Today, citizens of Ukraine can stay in Turkey for up to 90 days, taking advantage of the visa-free regime. Then there is the opportunity to issue a tourist permit, valid for 2 years. Its advantages are that it allows not only to live in Turkey and travel around this country, but also to have access to local medical institutions (as part of insurance), to purchase a car and obtain a driver’s license, to conduct entrepreneurial activity. But this permit does not provide for employment. Permission for it must be obtained separately. The employer deals with this issue by submitting the employee’s documents to the relevant ministry.
As for the humanitarian permit, it is issued not for 2 years, but for a year. Its registration is simpler than in the previous case. That is why this type of permit is in great demand.
If we talk about international protection, then we are talking about refugee status. Ukrainian refugees in Turkey can receive this type of protection for a year. 6 months after a person has submitted documents for this status, he has the right to find a job in Turkey. Additional permits are not required for this.
Among the advantages of temporary protection are free registration and insurance, assistance with obtaining housing and opening an account at a bank, the opportunity to arrange a child to study at a local school.
