⚠️ Purchasing a Property That Does Not Qualify for Citizenship
Under Turkish Citizenship Law and the relevant regulations, properties purchased for citizenship purposes must meet specific legal requirements. The property must be purchased from an eligible Turkish individual or legal entity, a valid valuation report must be obtained, and the property must not have been used in a previous citizenship application. In addition, the title deed should be free from legal issues that could affect the application. All of these factors should be carefully reviewed before making an investment.

⚠️ Paying Significantly Above Market Value
Overpaying for a property can create problems not only from an investment perspective but also during the citizenship application process. In certain cases, if the authorities determine that the transaction does not reflect the property’s actual value, additional scrutiny may occur. Furthermore, investors who purchase properties above market value often face substantial losses when they decide to sell the property in the future.

⚠️ Relying Solely on a Real Estate Agent’s Advice
Real estate agents play an important role in the purchasing process, but investors should not rely exclusively on their recommendations. Independent verification and legal review are essential before making any investment decision.

⚠️ Being Left Alone After the Purchase
Many foreign investors discover that purchasing the property is only the beginning of the process. Residence permit applications, utility registrations, banking procedures, tax matters, and citizenship applications often require ongoing assistance. Some intermediaries may request additional fees for post-sale support or become difficult to reach once their commission has been paid.
When working with our firm, we provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process, including assistance with settling in Turkey after the purchase.

⚠️ Poor Visa or Residence Permit Planning
Proper immigration planning is just as important as selecting the right property. Foreign nationals must ensure that residence permit applications are submitted within their legal visa or stay period. Failure to do so may result in the individual having to leave Turkey or falling into an irregular immigration status, which can significantly complicate future applications.

⚠️ Having No One Available to Answer Your Questions
Many investors receive excellent service before the purchase is completed. However, after the funds have been transferred and the transaction is finalized, important questions often arise regarding residence permits, citizenship procedures, family members, and daily life in Turkey.

A successful citizenship investment process requires ongoing communication and reliable support. When choosing legal representation, consider whether your lawyer is accessible, responsive, and genuinely interested in your case. If it takes days to receive answers to simple questions, or if you cannot find anyone to assist you when needed, this may be a warning sign.

Remember: as a foreign investor in Turkey, questions and unexpected situations will inevitably arise. Having experienced professionals available throughout the process can make a significant difference.
