konuk

i married a turkish citizen in may 2001.we married in the uk.we registered our marriage in turkey officially in july 2003 and were told we would have to wait 3 years before i could have my kimlik.after this period of time i was denied my kimlik.

why was this so?

By law am i entitled to a kimlik?

in september 2007 we did divorce in both countries,however i still reside in turkey and need to know if i have the right to a kimlik?

thank you

Dear Guest,

The conditions of acquiring Turkish nationality by marriage are specified in the related code of Turkish law.

The foreign spouse has to comply with following conditions for applying the ministry of internal affairs for gaining Turkish nationality;

1- To be married during the application with a Turkish national.

2- To be -actually- living under a common roof during the application.

I must -regretfully- say that you don't comply with these conditions to make an application in order to have Turkish nationality.

King regards.
