  The buyer cannot obtain Turkish citizenship unless the real estate appraisal document is submitted. You must prove that the property price at the time of purchase is equivalent to 250 thousand US dollars according to the exchange rate.

  
  

  This document has a validity period of three months. The foreign investor must renew the valuation, given that real estate prices in Turkey and the investment value rise periodically.

  
  

  However, the applicant for Turkish citizenship must present a document proving that the property's purchase price matches the amount required in the naturalization law.

  
  

  In Turkey, companies approved by the Turkish state are the only ones authorized to evaluate or evaluate the property's price, and any document issued by real estate brokerage companies or construction companies is not accepted.
