Turkish citizenship through marriage — let us handle your application after 3 years of marriage

Being married to a Turkish citizen spouse for at least 3 years, with the marriage still ongoing at the time of application, is the basic requirement.

• Duration alone is not enoughLiving together as a family union and general eligibility conditions are also assessed; how each criterion is examined varies by file.
• Why an initial assessmentWe clarify together, before applying, how the requirements are met in your specific situation — to prevent a file that would be rejected from the start.

The period is counted from the official marriage date — engagement or cohabitation periods do not count.

• Marriages abroadWhether a marriage performed abroad has been registered in Türkiye can affect the process; it is assessed on a file-by-file basis.
• If the period isn't completeUntil the 3 years are complete, status can be established with a family residence permit; once the period is complete, you move on to citizenship. We plan this bridge period together.

After the application, the couple is called to an interview with the provincial commission; the purpose is to assess whether the marriage is a genuine family union.

• What to expectThe interview proceeds through questions about the ordinary course of the marriage. We discuss how the process works together before you apply.
• Our roleWe track the interview date, provide information beforehand, and handle any document requests afterward.

The application is prepared and carried out by us, on your behalf, with power of attorney; the total duration varies by file and current workload.

• PreparationEligibility verification and document gathering take ~1–2 weeks; this is where the most time is typically lost.
• AssessmentThe interview and subsequent assessment stages can take months; requests for missing documents extend the timeline, and we close these requests quickly.

The continuation of the marriage is the foundation of this route — in the event of divorce or separation, the process cannot continue through this route. The death of the spouse, however, is treated as a separate situation under the legislation.

• Divorce or separationIf the marriage union ends this way, the marriage route closes; we plan together to protect your existing residence status and to assess any other citizenship routes that may apply.
• Death of the spouseIf the Turkish citizen spouse passes away after the application, the legislation provides for a special assessment; in this case, the process is handled on a file-by-file basis and we assess it together.

There are two separate items: the official government fees paid to the state, and the consultancy fee.

• The official sideFees are updated every year and paid to the state; they are not included in the consultancy fee.
• Consultancy feeIt is determined based on the scope of the file and shared clearly during the initial consultation.

Depending on the reason for rejection, objection or reapplication routes are assessed; a plan is made to protect your existing residence status.

• Reason analysisRejection is most often due to unproven eligibility or missing documents; the file itself shows which one applies.
