Is it possible to appeal the decision to refuse to receive citizenship?

A foreign citizen in respect of whom a decision was made to refuse to obtain Turkish citizenship, or his lawyer or legal representative, after receiving notification of the decision, has the right to appeal against a decision to a court.

The decision to refuse to obtain Turkish citizenship is an administrative action which is subject to appeal in accordance with the procedure established by law. The person in respect of whom the decision to refuse to obtain citizenship has been made has the right, with the help of a lawyer, to appeal against the decision of a public authority through an authorized court. After the appeal, the court will consider the existence of grounds for refusing to obtain citizenship.

What time frame are the deadlines for appealing the decision to refuse to obtain citizenship?

A foreign citizen in respect of whom a decision has been made to refuse to obtain citizenship has the right to appeal against it within 60 days from the date of notification of the decision. A foreigner who has received a notification of a decision to refuse to obtain citizenship notifies the authority that made this decision about his application.

Missing the legal time frame to challenge government decisions in court will lead to the fact that the court will reject your case at the first hearing.

What are the terms for considering disputes in Turkish courts?

According to the experience of our immigration lawyers, there are no definite terms in the consideration of these disputes, therefore it happens that the consideration and waiting for a response is delayed. But the main thing is that at the time of the trial, a foreigner has the right to stay in Turkey legally.
