Such as failure to fulfill one of the basic conditions, such as if the owned property violates the specified conditions, or the real estate evaluation does not match the price condition.

Also, if the required papers and documents are not submitted and approved by specialized authorities, or if there are doubts about the authenticity and authenticity of the papers, then rejection may also apply to this application.

The security study stage is one of the most important stages in the process of Turkish citizenship files. If the specialized authorities provide certain information or security problems related to the applicant for citizenship, such as the presence of a criminal record, or suspicion of committing illegal activities, then the possibility of rejection of the application is possible.

The real estate investment law in Turkey for foreigners sets the value of the properties required to apply for Turkish citizenship at 400,000 US dollars. If the value of the property purchased for the purpose of citizenship is less than the minimum required, this will naturally lead to the application being rejected, and the missing value must then be completed. By purchasing another additional property.

If you wish to cancel this mortgage and the property owner has already obtained citizenship, this is based on withdrawing Turkish citizenship from its owner if he has obtained it.
