How can I obtain Turkish citizenship?

Question

I'm not Turkish, don't have Turkish blood, don't live in Turkey, i just love Turkiye and everything related to the country.

Answer 1

Well, based on that information, I'm sorry, but you cannot become a citizen.  Yet, it's great that you love our country so much :)  If you're that willing to become a citizen, you would most likely have to work within Turkey for a certain amount of years and apply for a citizenship.  Other than that, I can't say if you can obtain one.

Answer 2

live and work there for 5 years then apply :P

Answer 3

My lovely brother,

You don't need to carry the boold of my nation.You don't need to live here or been here...

If you are feeling that you are Turkish. That's it !! You are one of us!

But If you want to be Turkish on the paper (black and white)

Just read,

1.You have to be adult

2.You have to stay in Turkey 5 years and must not stay in out of Turkey more that 6 months.

3.You have to be healthy

4.You have to speak Turkish in elemantary level.

5.You have to be professional about a profession and have a good salary.

6.You have to be well-behaved person (Not racist)

7.You have to prove that you really want to live in Turkey.For example you have to buy a flat or have an account in Turkish bank or get married with a Turkish woman( the worst rule ;)  )...

Than you will get Turkish identification :)

Than we will drink Raki together then play tavla when we are drinking nargile and of course I will order you medium sugar Turkish coffe ;))

Good luck!

Answer 4

go and live turkey!

Answer 5

In theory, according to the citizenship law, in your situation, one cannot gain Turkish citizenship. On the other hand, in practice, there are exceptions like the French historian, Jean Michel Thibaux. Therefore, it might serve as a precedent for your application.

I would write to one of Turkish authorities to ask for that since they like to do those kinds of things to brag to the media.
