In such cases, mutuality principle is the basis. According to the article 35 of the Land Registry Act numbered 2644, acquiring real estate of foreign people in Turkey must be mutual and must be suitable for legal limitations.
According to the approach in this regulation, the citizens of the countries who are allowing Turkish citizens to have real estate in their country are allowed to have real estate in Turkey except for the regions that are kept outside of this provision by means of other acts.
Since Germany allows Turkish citizens to own a real estate; German citizens may acquire real estate in Turkey as long as they obey the following rules.
