How can I add my new spouse to my ongoing Turkish citizenship by investment application?

I have already purchased the property and started the process but I am now getting married to my fiancée. After the marriage, what do I need to do to make sure she gets the citizenship, too? She has a child (12 years old) from her previous marriage – will my stepchild qualify for citizenship?

One of the most important advantages of acquiring Turkish citizenship through investment is that the investor's spouse and children under the age of 18 can also acquire citizenship. If you have not yet applied for citizenship, you can apply with your new spouse at the same time. If you have already applied for citizenship, you can make an additional application for your new spouse. You can also apply for citizenship for your stepchild. However, you will need to meet some conditions. First of all, the father of the stepchild must give consent. Secondly, the mother must have custody of the stepchild.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a spouse (and/or their child from a previous marriage) who was married to the investor subsequent to the submission of the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) application.
