How can I bring my mother with me to Turkey as a citizenship by investment applicant?

I want to invest in real estate in Turkey. Once I get my citizenship, can I take my mother to Turkey with me? She is over 65 and does not have any income. Do I need to add her to my application from the start, or become a citizen first? Does she also get residency or citizenship automatically? What are the documents I need?

    Exceptional Acquisition of Turkish citizenship by Investment is granted to the spouse of the investor and children under 18 years of age. However, the applicant’s parents cannot use the advantage of the program unless they fulfill the conditions in question by themselves. Turkish law does not comprise provisions that confer citizenship to the applicant’s parents directly or indirectly. You may consider two ways for your parent. You can get a short-term residence permit for your parent in Turkey by fulfilling the relevant conditions regulated in Article 32 of Law No:6458. If she buys property of any value, then she will be eligible to apply for a residence permit as well. She can also be an individual main applicant by fulfilling the investment conditions to obtain Turkish citizenship through investment program.

    Unfortunately, the Turkish CBI program only permits the tagging along of the core family members of the investor (spouse and children under 18) and does not allow other adult dependents or relatives to be annexed to the application. Accordingly, you will need to arrange a second investment for your mother.
