If the Turkish Spouse Dies, Does the Foreigner’s Right to Become a Citizen Disappears?
A foreigner gains the right to become a Turkish citizen provided that he/she has been married to a Turk for at least 3 years. The initiative to use this right is left to him/her. Either he/she can apply for Turkish citizenship on the day he/she acquires this right, or he/she can apply to become a Turkish citizen through marriage after 10 years. If a foreigner’s spouse dies before exercising this right, the foreigner’s right to become a Turkish citizen continues.
