  "title": "Türkiye — Exceptional Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship Application Form (Vat-4)",
  "description": "Vat-4, \"İstisnai Olarak Türk Vatandaşlığının Kazanılması Başvuru Formu\" (Application Form for the Exceptional Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship), by which a foreign national applies to acquire Turkish citizenship at the discretion of the President under Article 12 of Law No. 5901 on Turkish Citizenship (Türk Vatandaşlığı Kanunu) — the legal basis underlying Türkiye's well-known citizenship-by-investment, notable-service, and similar discretionary pathways. Published and administered by the T.C. İçişleri Bakanlığı Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Interior, General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, NVI). The form is filed with either a provincial Governorate (Valilik) or, for applicants residing abroad, a Turkish Consulate General, and captures the applicant's foreign and Turkish-script identity particulars, contact details, a declared criminal-record history, a four-way marital status with conditionally required spouse particulars, and up to three minor children applying to acquire citizenship together with the applicant. Companion schema to `tr/nvi/general-acquisition-of-turkish-citizenship-application`, `tr/nvi/renunciation-of-turkish-citizenship-with-permission-application`, and `tr/nvi/marriage-based-acquisition-of-turkish-citizenship-application`, within Türkiye's already-open National ID & Civic Documents vertical (does not open a new vertical). This v1.0.0 models the applicant-facing fields only; the form's own office-completed intake fields, the biometric photograph box, and the closing signature/printed-name line are out of scope (see VERIFICATION.md). GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of the Republic of Türkiye or the Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü. This schema does not itself grant, guarantee, or evaluate eligibility for any citizenship-by-investment or discretionary-acquisition pathway; it models only the fields the government's own published intake form requests.",
