Citizenship Law
Citizenship Law is a branch of law that regulates the legal connection between individuals and a state, along with the rights and obligations arising from this connection. In the Republic of Turkey, citizenship law is determined by the Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901 and relevant regulations.
What is Citizenship Law?
Citizenship refers to an individual's legal affiliation with a specific state. This connection enables the person to benefit from the laws of that state, enjoy rights, and assume obligations. Citizenship Law regulates how this relationship is established, protected, and terminated.
Citizenship law not only covers the rights and obligations of individuals but also includes the state's responsibilities towards the individual.
Basic Topics of Citizenship Law
Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship
Turkish citizenship can be acquired through three main methods:
- Acquisition by Birth: Citizenship based on descent (bloodline) or place of birth.
- Acquisition by Naturalization: Individuals who are not Turkish citizens can obtain citizenship by fulfilling the conditions specified by law.
- Acquisition through Marriage.
- Foreigners who have resided in Turkey for a certain period can acquire citizenship through application.
Loss of Turkish Citizenship
Turkish citizenship may be lost in certain cases:
- Voluntary Withdrawal: The individual voluntarily renounces citizenship.
- Revocation of Citizenship: Citizenship obtained through unlawful means may be revoked.
Dual Citizenship
Turkey accepts dual citizenship. However, the impact of an individual's foreign citizenship status on their rights and obligations in Turkey falls under the scope of citizenship law.
Blue Card Rights
The Blue Card, granted to individuals who have renounced Turkish citizenship but were originally Turkish citizens by birth, allows them to continue enjoying some citizenship rights.
Citizenship Application Processes
Citizenship applications involve a thorough examination process. It is important to ensure that documents are complete, legal conditions are met, and the application is properly submitted.
