  Yes, you may apply for citizenship by investment through setting up a company. You must set up a company in Turkey and hire 50 Turkish employees to be eligible for the citizenship program. Once you've set up a company and hire the employees, then the Ministry of Labor and Social Services will check your investment and they'll issue a certificate of conformity. Then your investment phase will be done and you will be eligible to apply for investor residency and citizenship.

  Foreigners can acquire Turkish citizenship by the President's decision if they create employment for at least 50 people in Turkey and this situation is determined by the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services. First, it's necessary to apply to the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services for the certificate of conformity. In the next process, if there is no missing document, the application will be forwarded to the relevant units. In the case that an application is made with incomplete information and documents, the applicant is given a thirty-day period to complete the deficiency. In terms of proving employment and continuity, trade registry records, social security institution records, workplace list, and tax records should be submitted with the application. It takes around 6 months to obtain the certificate of conformity and complete the citizenship application, if there's no missing information or document.

  If the foreign investor employs at least 50 Turkish citizens in Turkey, then, it would be possible to acquire Turkish citizenship. The sector would totally be up to you and at your discretion. You may either open a factory or establish an IT company and employ 50 people.
