SHORT ANSWER
Turkey permits multiple citizenships under certain conditions; the determining factor is your country’s legislation. This tool shows whether your country permits dual citizenship and whether it is restricted or unrestricted.
The decision depends on the rules of the two countries
Acquiring Turkish citizenship may not require you to renounce your current citizenship. However, the rules in your home country may differ: some countries consider the acquisition of new citizenship to be a loss of current citizenship.
For this reason, the question should not be asked in a one-sided manner. The situation in Turkey and the situation in the country of which you are a citizen should be examined separately.
How should you interpret the results?
This tool reflects the general practice in various countries. Even in countries where restrictions appear to apply, exceptions (such as acquisition by birth, marriage, or children) may exist; these are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
For accurate information, we recommend contacting the diplomatic mission of your country in Turkey to confirm.

The issue of dual citizenship typically arises in connection with one of these three routes. The route you choose does not directly affect the status of your current citizenship—what matters is your home country’s law.
Being the parent of a Turkish citizen or being born in Turkey does not, in and of itself, confer citizenship.
| Road | Basic requirement |
|---|---|
| General route (with residence) | 5 years of uninterrupted residence + intention to settle, means of support, and sufficient knowledge of Turkish |
| Through marriage | A marriage of at least 3 years that is still ongoing |
| Through real estate investment | At least 400,000 U.S. dollars + a 3-year non-sale restriction on the title deed |
