If the Turkish Spouse Dies, Will the Right to Be a Citizen Lose?
A foreigner gains the right to become a Turkish citizen on the condition that he has been married to a Turkish person for at least 3 years. The initiative to use this right is left to him. You can apply for Turkish citizenship on the day you get this right, or you can apply for Turkish citizenship through marriage after 10 years. If a foreigner dies without using this right, the foreigner’s right to become a Turkish citizen continues.
