Turkish citizenship through real estate investment is one of the most popular paths among foreign investors. However, a small mistake made in this process may cause the application to be rejected or the process to be re-established. Therefore, it is of great advantage to know the most common mistakes made before the application.
The first mistake is the selection of an unsuitable property for citizenship. Not every property is suitable for citizenship application. The nature, location, legal history and restrictions on the immovable must be examined. Buying an unsuitable property may invalidate the whole process.
The second mistake is the incorrect preparation of the appraisal report. The value of the immovable property is one of the most important elements of the application. An incomplete, erroneous or contrary to the legislation report is evaluated negatively by the administration. Therefore, the report must be prepared by authorised persons.
The third error is the mismatch between the sale price and the bank payment documents. The payment must be made through official channels and all documents must support each other. Otherwise, the transaction may become suspicious.
The fourth mistake is the incorrect annotation of the necessary annotations on the immovable property. The obligations regarding the sale or transfer must be correctly reflected in the land registry. Incorrect annotations may damage the citizenship file.
The fifth error is the incomplete submission of application documents. Passport, ID, marital status documents, proof of payment, appraisal report and title deed documents must be complete.
The sixth mistake is the incorrect filing of family members. If the spouse and children are to be included in the application, their documents must also be properly prepared.
The seventh mistake is not investigating the legal history of the immovable property. Mortgages, liens, lawsuits or partnership issues may affect the security of the application.
The eighth mistake is to carry out the process without professional support. Citizenship by real estate investment requires not only the purchase but also the management of the administrative and legal process.
As a result, only investment is not enough for a successful application. The process must be managed correctly from start to finish.
