Properties that do not qualify for Turkish citizenship

• Vacant land and agricultural land, and timeshare properties (devre mülk). (Reference: official Land Registry guide and Article 20 of the Citizenship Law implementing regulation)
• A property registered to a person who acquired Turkish citizenship exceptionally, or a resale property that any foreigner or exceptional-citizenship holder transferred to a Turkish citizen or Turkish company within the last 3 years. A property that has already received a conformity certificate cannot be used by another foreigner. (Reference: official Land Registry guide)
• Related-party property: a property registered to foreigners, or to the buyer’s Turkish first-degree relatives (by blood or marriage); a resale property that the buyer or their first-degree relatives transferred to a Turkish citizen or Turkish company; or a property owned by a company in which the buyer or their first-degree relatives are partners or managers. (Reference: official Land Registry guide)
• Mortgages, seizures and annotations: a mortgaged or seized property may be sold, but its amount is not counted towards the investment value, and the conformity certificate is cancelled if it is sold through a forced sale. A property with a statutory mortgage (kanuni ipotek), or with an annotation that could change ownership (a promise to sell, a 150-c annotation, or a pending-lawsuit annotation), does not qualify. If the property is bought with a foreign-currency loan, the loan amount is deducted from the value. (Reference: official Land Registry guide)
• Shared ownership: if several foreigners buy shares in the same property it does not qualify; if one foreigner buys the whole property from several owners, it does. (Reference: official Land Registry guide)
