Foreign Currency Purchase Certificate

Foreign Currency Purchase Certificate

FOREIGN CURRENCY PURCHASE CERTIFICATE As is known, within the scope of the Regulation on the Implementation of the Turkish Citizenship Law enacted in 2018, it has been made possible for foreigners in our country to acquire Turkish citizenship exceptionally by purchasing immovable or immovables worth at least 400,000 USD (Four hundred thousand USD). At this point, banks play an important role in the registration of foreign currency coming from foreign countries. Namely, as of January 24, 2022, foreigners are obliged to exchange foreign currency with the Central Bank for transactions they are buyers of. Accordingly, persons who are not citizens of the Republic of Turkey are required to make the payments for the real estate to be purchased in foreign currency. This obligation applies to all purchases made by foreigners, whether they apply for citizenship or not.

However, the most important point to be considered in this transaction is that the document to be obtained must be from a bank operating in Turkey. This transaction cannot be made with foreign currency exchang..
