The intention to renounce Turkish citizenship (or acquire citizenship from another state) is submitted in Turkey by a petition to the highest administrative official in the concerned person's place of residence, and when overseas to the Turkish consulate.

Examples of people who have done this include football players Colin Kazim-Richards and Mehmet Aurélio.

One of the most notable routes is property investment, often considered a "golden gate" for foreigners seeking Turkish residency or citizenship.

By purchasing qualifying real estate, applicants can secure a residence permit and potentially fast-track their path to citizenship.

A foreign national who has been married to a Turkish citizen for three years and is still married to that partner may apply for naturalization under a different set of conditions: Following a successful application, the naturalised spouse may retain their Turkish citizenship if the marriage should subsequently be dissolved, so long as both partners had entered into the marriage in good faith.

[4] Since 18 September 2018, Law No 5901 disposes that foreign citizens investing in Turkey will be granted the right to apply for Turkish citizenship.

The investment made and claimed by the foreign national is monitored and confirmed by the relevant government authority.

Once the investment is confirmed by the relevant governmental authority, the foreign national is granted Turkish citizenship.
