What happens if my child turn 18 before my citizenship application in Turkey is approved?

If I apply for citizenship for my family and at the time of the application my children are under 18 but when the application is approved one child has turned 18, then will that child still get citizenship? As the citizenship application takes between 2-6 months, do the children have to be under 18 at the time of application or at the time the application is approved?

    If the child is below the age of 18 at the time of application, then he/she would acquire Turkish citizenship as well.

    If your child is under 18 on the application date, the child will get citizenship. It does not matter when the procedure gets completed.

    If the investor's child is under 18 years of age at the time of application, the child would be able to get Turkish citizenship. However, if the child is over 18, a power of attorney would be required to get certain procedures done on their behalf.
