To get a citizenship especially in Germany is difficult. When my husband married me he was able to apply for the German passport after three years but the foreigners who do not marry Germans they have a waiting time of I think 8 – 10 years and have to fulfill lots of criteria. Although they do not allow the German wifes of Turkish to get a second nationality. I had to decide to be always a foreigner in Turkey, because when I take the Turkish nationality I will lose my German passport and have no rights to return to my home country like before .

I would need a visa which is only possible when somebody of family or friends will invite me by notary and sign a form where they declare that they will pay all costs for me , also health insurance. And it would be only possible for a tourist visa of 90 days, which would cost me a commission of 1500 Euros (return by arrival in Turkey after holidays). We have lots of old German ladies, who went to Turkey with their Turkish husbands in the sixties back to Turkey. And they did not know this. They all lost their rights in Germany and live after the dead of the husbands with no income in Turkey and there is no possibility and no help of anybody to get the German citizenship back.

When I married in Turkey, they asked me about my demands, to be German or to get a Turkish citizenship. And they told me what will happen, when I take the Turkish one. But I am not really sure that will happen in every city where foreigners marry a Turkish. But I  think they have to say it now.
