Citizenship & Immigration Law
Living, investing or doing business in Türkiye can raise legal questions that go well beyond immigration status. A residence or citizenship matter may be closely connected with a property purchase, an investment, a company interest or another legal relationship established in Türkiye.
DMG Hukuk advises foreign individuals, investors and businesses on Turkish citizenship and immigration law, while also supporting the transactions and legal relationships that bring them to Türkiye. This allows immigration, investment, corporate and real estate matters to be considered together where they intersect.

Changes in Immigration Status

Connected Legal Matters
Coordinated advice where a citizenship or immigration matter is connected with a company, investment, property transaction, contract or other legal matter in Türkiye.
For many foreign clients, citizenship or immigration is not a standalone issue. A decision to live, invest or do business in Türkiye may involve property, a company, employment or contractual relationships at the same time.
We look at those connections from the outset. Rather than treating the application in isolation, we consider the wider legal steps involved in what the client is seeking to do in Türkiye and coordinate the work where different practice areas meet.
