İ am an english citizen who has lived in Turkey for the last four years. İn this time İ have bought an apartment (which is at the moment in my brothers name). İ have started to wonder about whether İ could apply for citizenship, the problem is that İ havent until now taken a residence permit. Because İ frequently have to travel İ have continued to take tourist visas every three months. Obviously my passport shows the time İ have spent in Turkey but İ wonder what my situation would be legally.
