Turkish Citizenship by Investment | Parley Law
Theoretical information and legal explanations are important, but nothing is more persuasive than a real-world success story. This article is a step-by-step breakdown of how Parley Law Firm’s promises are transformed into tangible results, based on a real client experience (names and specific details have been changed to protect privacy).
Meet the “Ivanov family”: Russian citizens residing in Dubai with two children, aged 14 and 8. Their goal was twofold: to secure global mobility for their children’s future education and careers, and to make a safe, valuable real estate investment. Their primary concern? The complexity of the process and the fear of long, frustrating delays.
The Challenge: The Ivanovs were interested in buying a property in Istanbul but were anxious about finding the right investment and navigating the bureaucracy amidst their demanding professional lives.
Our Action: We scheduled an initial video conference. One of our Russian-speaking lawyers immediately put the family at ease, answering every question in their native language. We conducted our foundational Family Eligibility Assessment, creating a clear checklist of required documents, including the apostilled birth certificates for their children, right from the start.
The Outcome: Feeling secure and seeing a clear, structured path ahead, the Ivanov family chose to partner with Parley Law Firm. We guided them through the Power of Attorney process, which they completed efficiently at the Turkish Consulate in Dubai.
The Challenge: The family had identified several modern residential projects they liked online but were unsure which offered the best combination of lifestyle, quality, and long-term investment value.
Our Action: A specialist from Parley Law Firm’s local network in Istanbul conducted a comprehensive due diligence investigation on the family’s top three choices. We meticulously reviewed the title deed records, verified the certificates of occupancy (iskan), and confirmed that the projects were legally sound and free of any encumbrances. We then presented the family with an objective report detailing the pros and cons of each.
The Outcome: The Ivanov family, empowered by our report, made a confident decision on a property in a high-growth area. We managed the entire purchase and money transfer process, verifying every bank receipt to ensure 100% legal compliance. The title deed transfer was completed seamlessly without the family ever needing to travel to Turkey.
The Challenge: While preparing the application file, our detail-oriented team identified a minor notarial error on a document obtained from the family’s home country. If missed, this small flaw could have caused the entire application to be rejected and sent back.
Our Action: We addressed the issue proactively before it could become a problem. Leveraging our international contacts, we guided the family on how to get the document swiftly corrected and re-apostilled. Simultaneously, our team in Turkey secured all local documents, including the Certificate of Conformity and the application for the Investor Residence Permit.
The Outcome: By the end of the second month, we had assembled an airtight application file—flawlessly translated, organized, and ready for first-time approval.
The Timeline:
Month 3, Week 1: The Ivanov family made one short trip to Turkey for the sole purpose of providing biometrics (fingerprints). Our team accompanied them to the appointment and immediately submitted their full citizenship application to the relevant government directorate in Ankara.
Months 3 & 4: We didn’t just wait. Our team actively tracked the application’s progress through every stage, from the archive review to the national security investigation. We provided the Ivanov family with regular weekly updates, so they were never left wondering about the status of their file.
The Result: Just 3.5 months from the date of submission, we received the wonderful news: the Presidency had approved the Ivanov family’s application for Turkish citizenship.
From their first consultation call to becoming Turkish citizens, the entire journey for the Ivanov family took less than four months. A process they once viewed as complex and daunting was transformed into a stress-free, remarkably fast, and successful experience, all thanks to Parley Law Firm’s expertise, proactive problem-solving, and structured process.
“We do not regret for a moment trusting Parley Law Firm. They simplified every step and, thanks to our Russian-speaking lawyer, we always felt understood and at ease. We never imagined the process could be this fast. Thank you!” – A. Ivanov
