New laws for obtaining Turkish citizenship by investment

New laws for obtaining Turkish citizenship by investment

Since mid-June 2022, the amount approved in the real estate investment threshold for obtaining Turkish citizenship has been raised to 400 thousand US dollars. Now it must be proven that at least $400,000 USD in Turkish lira was spent for the investment. This is done through a document called "Exchange Purchase Document" which is provided by the banks. Both the seller and the buyer can make the exchange and obtain this document. It is very important that the amount exchanged on the exchange purchase documents is identical to what is written on the payment receipts and title deed. If the amount exchanged is not compatible with the amount specified on the title deed and the amount written on the payment receipts, this will result in a problem with the sale. Syrians are still unable to invest in real estate even if they hold another passport. There has been no change so far in this regard. Investing by depositing at least $500,000 in a Turkish bank account is still a valid investment method for obtaining Turkish citizenship. However, the deposited amount must be transferred and kept in Turkish lira. However, it is now possible, through a specific financial instrument called the "Protected Lira Program", to make bank deposits for the purpose of citizenship automatically. In fact, it has become necessary to deposit the investment within the framework of this program, which brings a great advantage to protect against the damages of the fluctuation of the Turkish lira against foreign currencies, because it protects bank deposits from the possibility of depreciation of the Turkish lira by undertaking to compensate the losses incurred as a result at certain maturity periods ranging from 3 months and 12 months. The only point to be cautious about is that the maximum maturity period under this program is one year and although it is renewable as per the current rules, we don't know if this scheme will continue in the future years as it is a financial instrument that was recently introduced in the banking system Turkey, especially after the elections, and the new government can cancel or revise this programme. In the early years of the Citizenship by Investment Programme, it was possible for the investor's wives to obtain citizenship. But that hasn't been possible for a while now. Moreover, we believe that this law will not change anymore, as the decision to allow the wives of the investor to obtain citizenship was not very compatible with the Turkish legal system because polygamy is prohibited in Turkey. Moreover, there is a more recent rule that the investor cannot choose which of his wives will get the citizenship but it must be the first wife. Although it is not mentioned in the list of documents required to apply for citizenship, the family record is required in case there is a mismatch at the surname level in the documents of the investor and his children. This means that if the investor is a woman, her family record will be requested automatically because her surname will definitely not match the surname of her children. Last but not least, it used to take a maximum of 5-6 months to process citizenship applications, but now this whole process takes much longer, on average 8-9 months. This is due to a sudden large overload of requests in the system between May and June 2022. In the coming months, the request load will decrease and the pressure on the system will ease. This is why the application process will likely take a shorter time again.

The mechanism of transmission of inheritance related to foreigners to heirs in Turkey

The mechanism of transmission of inheritance related to foreigners to heirs in Turkey

In recent years, Turkey has witnessed a significant increase in the number of foreigners coming to reside on its lands, which has resulted in an increase in the number of those obtaining Turkish citizenship as well. There is no doubt that residing in Turkey and obtaining its citizenship has raised questions about the courts empowered to consider many different issues related to family, inheritance and others, and about the countries whose law is adopted when considering these cases. In this article, we list to you the mechanism for the transfer of movable and immovable funds, financial assets in banking banks and other assets and property belonging to a foreigner who died in Turkey or who obtained its citizenship, to his heirs after him. According to the relevant clause in private international law, “inheritance follows the national law of the deceased person.” Accordingly, the persons entitled to inheritance are determined, and the proportions of their inheritance rights under the national law of the country of the bequeathed person. However, the other paragraphs of the said legal clause contain rules that constitute an exception to the first paragraph mentioned above. According to these exceptions, "Turkish law is the one approved in dealing with immovable property of the inherited alien." This provision is an order (and not merely a recommendation). As for the movable property of the estate, it is subject to the national law of the country of the bequeather. In this case, a lawsuit can be filed within Turkey, but the ruling is established according to the law of the country of the inheritor in matters related to the movable money in the inheritance. As for the transfer of the inheritance, the inheritance document issued by the Turkish courts grants the heirs of the foreign benefactor the right to inherit his property in Turkey, regardless of whether the estate funds are movable or immovable. According to the provisions of the Turkish Civil Code, everyone has the right to inherit and be eligible for a will, except for those who are not qualified to inherit. Proceeding from this clause, eligibility for inheritance has been linked to 3 conditions: the heir must be alive upon the death of the testator, be eligible to receive the inheritance, and not bear one of the reasons for deprivation of inheritance. The Turkish Civil Code does not include any provisions that would deprive a foreign legatee of obtaining an inheritance document. However, the notary public departments must have access to the data of the souls related to this person completely and correctly, in order to issue the inheritance document for him. Due to the lack of access by the justice departments in Turkey to the data of the souls of foreigners completely and correctly because they are kept in another country, the inheritance document is not issued to foreigners with the notary public departments in Turkey. Therefore, foreigners wishing to obtain this must file a lawsuit with the relevant courts in Turkey. If the inheritance document is required for immovable property, Turkish law is applied, which includes some restrictions with regard to this type of property, which is that if the heir is a foreign person, he must be a citizen of one of the state specified by the President of the Republic, in order to be able to obtain On immovable property through inheritance. It is not possible to ensure the enforcement of recognition of inheritance inventory documents and soul records issued according to legal bases from the courts or directorates of souls in the country of the inheritor, but they can be relied upon as evidence. Documents that show the relationship between the inheritor and the heir can be issued by the directorates of souls in the country of the foreign inheritor, but these documents do not carry the status of limiting the inheritance issued by the court and/or do not replace it in terms of influence. As for the judicial decisions issued in this regard, they are considered as undisputed judicial transactions and do not constitute final rulings. Thus, it is not possible to secure enforcement of recognition of these documents by Turkish courts. The mentioned documents are considered invalid in Turkey. Also, in addition to the conditions for obtaining a valid inheritance document, and if the heirs request the transfer of immovable funds to them through inheritance, it is considered whether the heirs are citizens of one of the 183 countries stipulated in the list issued in 2012 by the Turkish Council of Ministers. After the heir, a citizen of one of these 183 countries, obtains a valid inheritance document in Turkey, and completes the necessary procedures with the Tapu Department, he will also complete the procedures for transferring the ownership of immovable funds to the heir, in the relevant records. However, if the heir does not have the nationality of one of the 183 countries mentioned in the Cabinet list in 2012, he will not be able to obtain the right to inherit from immovable property. In this case, it can be said that the mentioned list of the Turkish Council of Ministers is the determining factor for the heirs of the foreign heir to obtain the immovable funds through inheritance in Turkey. The heirs of the heir holding the nationality of one of the countries whose name is not mentioned in the mentioned list cannot benefit from the right of inheritance except by selling the immovable property that is the subject of the inheritance, and benefiting from its price. The heir is a Turkish citizen and the heirs are foreigners There is no legal difference between the legator and the heirs being foreigners, and the legator being a Turkish citizen and the heirs being foreigners. As we have said, under the relevant law, "inheritance follows the national law of the deceased person". According to Turkish law, the fact that the testator or heir is a foreign citizen does not prevent them from obtaining the inheritance. In the event that the legatee was a Turkish citizen and among his heirs at his death were foreign nationals, Turkish law is also in force and approved in the process of these foreign heirs obtaining immovable funds through inheritance. With regard to movable funds, the national law of the country of the bequeather, that is, Turkish law, is adopted. The restrictions contained regarding the inheritance rights of foreigners in the movable property of the inheritance shall be applicable in this case as well. Courts empowered to look into the matter The law regulating the authority to consider inheritance cases that contain a foreign element, states that “(1) inheritance cases are considered by the courts of the last region in which the deceased (the legator) resided in Turkey. In the event that the deceased was not in Turkey, the courts are considered In the area to which the inheritance belongs, it is authorized to look into the matter.” According to this, the courts located in the area where the immovable property is located are considered to be empowered to hear cases of inheritance. Conclusion Turkish laws are adopted in the mechanism of transferring the movable and immovable funds of a foreign citizen in Turkey, to the heirs, whether the heir died inside Turkey or in another country, because this property was acquired in Turkey. According to this; First: An inheritance determination document must be obtained in order to transfer immovable funds in Turkey through inheritance. Based on the decisions of the Supreme Court of Turkey (Yarg?tay), Turkish courts do not recognize determination of inheritance or wills issued by foreign countries. However, these documents can be used as evidence. Therefore, the inheritance determination document must be obtained from the Turkish courts under Turkish laws. Second: In addition to obtaining the inheritance limitation document (inheritance document) from the Turkish courts, if the foreigner has died outside Turkey, then the death certificate must be obtained and it must explain the “apostille” for the signatory countries to the Hague Treaty, the forensic report and the prosecution documents public, and then submit it to the legal magistrate’s court in the area in which the movable property, subject of the inheritance, is located, or the last area in which the bequeather resided within Turkey. As for foreign nationals of countries that are not signatories to the Hague Treaty, they must have the death certificate certified by the Turkish Consulate in their country. Third: The procedures and transactions of immovable funds must be completed with the municipality to which it belongs. These procedures include reviewing the tax department in the state or district in which the immovable property is located, and the payment of all taxes and real estate fees and others previously incurred on the property subject of the inheritance, and then the procedures related to property transfer taxes are completed. Subsequently, a document confirming the payment of inheritance and transfer taxes for the property is organized and sent to the Tax Department and the Directorate of Education. According to Paragraph (3) of Clause (4) of the Turkish Fee Law No. 492, a Tapu fee of not less than 9 per thousand of the total value of the immovable property subject to the transfer by inheritance that has been indicated by the concerned persons shall be collected. After the fees are paid, the Tapu Directorate organizes a new Tapu document for the heirs of the new owners of this immovable property. Given the large number of papers and transactions related to these procedures, I do not want to go into their details. In this article, I tried to explain the mechanism of the inheritance law for foreigners residing in Turkey or who obtained Turkish citizenship from them. I hope it is useful.

What are the most important things to mention when signing a rental contract in Turkey

What are the most important things to mention when signing a rental contract in Turkey

The Turkish state must be the same as all countries around the world, as it also owns real estate for rent, and all types of real estate are undisputedly capable of being rented for that. One of the things that you should be aware of when making the decision to rent, and today we will talk about the most important things and things related to rental contracts in Turkey and the law that imposes these rules. What are the most important things to mention when signing a rental contract in Turkey Certainly, there are things and elements that must be available during your signing of the lease contract in Turkey, first and among the most important things that should be mentioned is the monthly amount of rent agreed upon by the two parties, i.e. the tenant and the lessor. Rent It is important to know that there are several ways to make the payment process. For example, cash payment delivered by hand. You can also transfer the amount to the owner of the property through his account in the bank, and never forget to be careful to mention in the rental contract how long you will stay in the property. The information shall be clear, explicit and never ambiguous. Moreover, the personal data of both parties, i.e. both the lessor and the tenant, should be mentioned, and this data is represented in the full name and all the details contained in the personal card. The most important thing you should pay attention to in rental contracts in Turkey: First, once this contract is signed and the date of the end of the lease term is set, you, as a property owner, will not be able to evict the tenant from the property before the end of the specified time written in the text of the contract and signed as well, except in rare cases that require his removal and the competent authority is supervising that matter. Later, after signing the contract, you have to keep it with you because without it, it is as if you never rented anything. It is official proof that this property is yours for a certain period of time, and it is also strictly prohibited if the original owner of the property wants to raise the value of the money, the rental price to meet his request. Because this is a clear violation of the laws established in this regard, even if he wants to raise the rent, he must wait until the end of the specified time and do what seems to him. What are the prices of rental properties in Turkey? Of course, the case of Turkey, like all countries of the world, the rent in it varies in value from one city to another and from one region to another, and the closer we get to the main cities, the more we walk with an increase in price, for example, a property in Istanbul consisting of two rooms and their benefits, the usual rent price is approximately 4000 lira Turkish, and if we move away a little from the city center and approach the parties, the price will be around 3500 Turkish only, and if the property is a little big, the rent price per month can reach 6000 maximum. What does Turkish law stipulate regarding the payment of the insurance amount imposed on the tenant? Many means will not be unable to find an appropriate way to pay the insurance amount. We have a method of payment, for example, by checks or bonds, but there is advice that must be taken into consideration, which is not to pay the insurance amount in cash to the owner of the property, but rather it can be placed as a deposit in one of the banks in the form of trust. The amount of the security deposit must be written in the lease contract so that it can be a witness with the tenant against the landlord in case his intentions were bad. What did Turkish law decide on the amount of insurance paid? This matter is mentioned and clarified within the Turkish law, and this insurance is known and specified value, and it can never be tampered with, and it is the price of renting the property for a period of three months, and this is an important point that the tenant must be aware of. to be less.

The Istanbul Canal project represents Turkey's vision for the future The left government is about to complete the necessary preparations for the project The tender for the project is expected to be launched this summer The canal will be 45 km long, 21 meters deep, and 275 meters wide. - The canal will be earthquake-resistant, will provide many projects for urban transformation, will generate important financial resources, and will create new job opportunities - The Bosphorus Strait will be transformed into a tourist area, as it is considered the focus of the world due to the beauty of its nature and the historical monuments it contains. The Bosphorus Strait, which connects the Black Sea and the Sea of ??Marmara in the Turkish city of Istanbul, is one of the most important global water crossings, and throughout history it has been a point of conflict between the major countries of the world. With the development of global trade movement, and the increase in dependence on maritime transport, a new water crossing was needed to ease the burden on the Bosphorus Strait, which would benefit Turkey and the world. In this context, and as a result of the security and environmental risks resulting from the increased burdens of ships passing through the strait, the Turkish government has begun preparations to build a water canal on the European side of Istanbul. Turkish vision The Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Adel Kara Ismailoglu, told Anatolia a few days ago that they are continuing preparations for the tender for the construction of the Istanbul Water Canal, stressing the importance of the canal for Turkey. He added that the Istanbul Canal "a project that represents Turkey's vision", and that it is one of the largest projects around the world, and pointed to his country's recent approval of the plans to develop the canal, pointing to the completion of the project's architectural preparations. He explained that preparations are continuing to launch the channel's tender, stressing their intention to start it "very soon", without revealing more details. According to previous government estimates, the cost of the project is expected to be approximately $25 billion, and the construction will be on the European side of the city, from Lake Buyukcekmece on the Sea of ??Marmara in the south, to the Black Sea in the north. The cornerstone of summer Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech last Wednesday that his government is about to complete the necessary preparations for the Istanbul Canal project, explaining that the canal will be a new outlet for the region, and it is planned to lay the foundation stone for the project this summer. Erdogan said that the project was approved by the environment report, and included a study carried out by 56 institutions, and more than 200 scientists participated in the studies, and the study ended with the participation of citizens and field work. The Turkish government intends to have the project launched and made progress by the year 2023, with the centenary of the founding of the Turkish Republic. According to Erdogan, the length of the canal is 45 km, its depth is 21 meters, its maximum width is 275 meters, and at the narrowest base the width on the surface will be 360 ??meters. And he added, "A new city will be built on both sides of the canal, with a capacity of five hundred thousand people. The project will accelerate preparations for facing the threat of earthquakes, and it will be integrated with the rest of the development projects that Istanbul witnessed, including the new airport, the third bridge, new roads and metro lines." Heavy traffic Erdogan said in his speech that in 1930, 3,000 ships passed through the Bosphorus in one year, but the number currently exceeds 40,000. He explained that the Panama Canal witnesses the passage of more than 13,000 ships annually, and the Suez Canal passes through about 17,000 ships annually. He added that the capacity of the Bosphorus Strait for safe travel is only 25,000 ships annually, and this means that the Bosphorus bears a greater burden. Intensive scientific study According to the data of the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Istanbul Canal study was conducted by 7 Turkish universities, one of the best in the country, with the participation of 200 academics, and the studies included 33 different scientific branches. Measurements were taken that included 97 points in order to protect the environment and excavations of 17,000 meters in 304 different points, including 8 points for groundwater and 17 hydrological study points, through 56 institutions to prepare the environmental report. The tests were conducted in Turkish and French laboratories. According to the same ministry data, in 2019, the number of ships that crossed the Bosphorus reached 41,112 ships, 30% of which are considered dangerous cargo, and the tonnage of the ships is large, which has increased the weight of the cargo passing through the strait in recent years. The narrowest width of the Bosporus is 700 meters, and there is a daily movement estimated at two thousand trips between the two banks of the strait in local transport, as well as the presence of surface and underground water currents that raise the risks of collision. - many benefits Environmental protection is an important benefit of the Istanbul Water Canal, according to previous government data, since it will reduce the pollution rate caused by the passage of a large number of ships from the heart of Istanbul. Canal Istanbul will be resistant to earthquakes that threaten the city, will provide many projects for urban transformation, will generate important financial sources, and will create new job opportunities. The Turkish government is also seeking to turn the Bosphorus Strait into a tourist area, as it is considered the focus of the world's attention due to the beauty of its nature and the historical monuments it contains.

Tips before buying a property under construction in Turkey

Tips before buying a property under construction in Turkey

Some Turkish and foreign buyers tend to own under-construction properties for several residential and investment goals. If their goal is residential, they buy under-construction properties because their prices are much lower than the prices of ready-made properties and wait until the construction work is completed and the apartment is received. As for buyers of Turkish real estate under construction with the aim of investing, they make an investment that is classified as a “short-term investment.” When the construction work is completed and the title deed is received, they sell the property directly or add modifications of decor and furnishing, then sell it at a higher price and obtain a profit difference that sometimes reaches 300% as a profit surplus. . Therefore, owning real estate under construction is one of the most desirable types of ownership in Turkey, as it achieves many gains, whatever the purpose of the purchase, but you must take a moment and think carefully before signing the purchase contract. Here are a set of tips that you should read carefully before making a purchase decision. 1- Use a real estate advisor: If we advise you when buying a real estate to use a real estate consultant once, then we advise you dozens of times and we assure you that a real estate consultant must be present. It is added to the price of the property, as some think. On the contrary, the real estate consultant works to collect the lowest possible price on the property and sometimes deduct his commission in order to complete the transaction. Here, we recommend the presence of a real estate consultant to accurately inform you of the most prominent projects that are still under construction or have not started their construction yet, and show you the expected profit margin upon completion of the construction work for each project separately, and many advantages that you cannot obtain without the assistance of a real estate consultant. 2- Find the best construction companies in Turkey: Some followers of Arab and local drama are interested in the name of the director of the work and do not watch the series or the movie if it is not for a strong and capable director. The same for real estate projects in Istanbul and Turkey in general must bear the signature of a strong construction and undertakings company in Turkey with a good reputation, known history, quality finishes and commitment to the date delivery. 3- Read the purchase contract carefully before signing: Real estate purchase contracts in Turkey are usually written in Turkish and can be translated into English, Arabic or any language spoken by the customer by a sworn translator in Turkey, and a reliable translator can also be used to read the terms to the customer’s ears and the customer asks for an explanation of any item he does not understand or uses a real estate attorney to explain The customer and his rights and duties as a party to the contract, so do not sign the contract before fully and clearly understanding it, bearing in mind that the contract includes two parties, the seller is a first party (the construction company) and the buyer is a second party, and it contains items related to the location of the property, its total and net area, the number of rooms and the space Each of them, the electrical appliances that are delivered with the apartment (if any) and the smart home system, if any, as well as setting a date for delivery that may be after a year, two or three years from the date of signing the contract, but it must be clear and written in the solar calendar (Gregorian) and Turkish law allows With only 6 months delay in delivery, which may be delayed due to weather factors. 4-Take a real estate tour and stay away from remote areas:.. Even if the property is under construction or its construction is not far away, head towards the construction site and look at the land and the surrounding places and beware of remote areas far from transportation, traffic, health, educational and recreational centers and other aspects of life… 5- Make sure that the property you receive matches the plans and photos: It is necessary for the construction company to adhere to the plans developed before starting the implementation work, and this leads us to the second advice, which is to choose a strong and credible construction company in all areas. 6- Ensure legal safety: Not every project that begins to be built means that it is free of legal problems. Ask to see a copy of the building permit extracted from the municipality of the region and confirm it by reviewing the municipality. You can also request the easement tab once the foundations are laid and the construction of the first floor is completed. # Real estate vision...

Resolving the controversy over real estate ownership for multinational Syrians in Turkey Ruaya Real Estate has monitored for you the latest developments related to the ownership of real estate by foreigners with other nationalities in Turkey, follow the details with us. New Turkish decisions on the ownership of multinational Syrians in Turkey The Presidency of the Foreigners Department of the General Directorate of Land Registry and Land Survey of Turkey issued a circular on 11/16/2021, which includes several amendments to the articles related to the ownership of real estate by multinationals in Turkey. The most important of these amendments are the following: • Giving priority in owning real estate to the property rights granted by Turkish citizenship to the acquirer as a second nationality, regardless of his first nationality. In other words, foreigners holding Turkish citizenship will be treated on the basis of Turkish citizenship regardless of other nationalities they hold, including Syrian citizenship, so anyone with Turkish citizenship can own property in Turkey as a Turkish citizen, even if his second citizenship falls among the nationalities prohibited from owning in Turkey . The circular singled out the Turks of Syrian nationality who were previously treated by the law according to the Syrian nationality with regard to ownership in Turkey, or imposed on them certain restrictions related to their nationality, which is prohibited from owning in Turkey. • The treatment of a foreign citizen in accordance with the property rights of the nationality prohibited from owning in Turkey in the event that he holds another nationality that is not prohibited from ownership other than Turkish nationality, and the circular provided an example of this as follows: A foreign citizen holding Syrian and German citizenship at the same time, will be treated in the matter of ownership in Turkey on the basis of the Syrian nationality, which is prohibited from owning in Turkey. • Request a document proving the origins of a foreign citizen, who was born in one of the countries prohibited from owning property in Turkey and does not hold its nationality. He cited an example of this Palestinian born in Syria, where he must prove his Palestinian origins and not hold Syrian citizenship by being born in Syrian lands so that he can own real estate in Turkey, otherwise he will be treated in the matter of ownership according to the Syrian nationality, which is prohibited from owning in Turkey. • The treatment of citizens holding the nationality of a country that is prohibited from owning property, and those who own real estate in Turkey before this decision, according to the property rights granted to them by the nationality of the country on the basis of which they owned. Example: A foreign citizen who holds Syrian and Sudanese citizenship at the same time, and has owned a property in Turkey before the issuance of this decision through the Sudanese passport, the title deed transactions will be carried out for the properties he owns on the basis that he is Sudanese. • The General Directorate of Land Registry in Ankara will be referred to regarding Syrian citizens whose names have previously registered real estate or a property has been transferred to their name through a court decision such as inheritance, for example, and property applications for Syrian citizens will be rejected directly. • Decisions to ban or allow foreign nationals to own property can change according to the public interest.
