Step-by-Step Guide: Turkish ID Card & Passport Appointment After Citizenship Approval

Obtaining Turkish citizenship by investment is an exciting milestone. Upon receiving your Citizenship Approval Letter, you may book your Turkish ID card & Turkish passport appointment at the nearest Turkish Consulate General. These documents are essential to fully exercise your rights as a Turkish citizen.
