Some countries prohibit obtaining an additional nationality to the nationality of the mother country that the citizen holds, as for example, in Kuwait, once a citizen obtains Turkish citizenship or any other nationality, the Kuwaiti parliament issues a decision to revoke his citizenship and this also applies to some other nationalities in the world.
2. Service Turkish law states that any foreigner who acquires Turkish citizenship before the age of 21 is required to perform mandatory military service for 6 months or pay an allowance of 31,000 Turkish liras and this also includes the (male) children of investors who, along with their families, obtain Turkish citizenship, especially for children under the age of 18.
3. Carrying Turkish citizenship requires individuals to respect and abide by the laws of the country, especially with regard to the laws of terrorism, and not to get involved, directly or indirectly, with countries or organizations hostile to Turkey and individuals must realize that their acquisition of Turkish citizenship does not give them unrestricted freedom in all their actions, but rather they must respect the sovereignty of the state and its systems.
