Foreign-buyer eligibility must be checked TKGM describes Web Tapu as the platform for online applications for land-registry transactions such as sale, mortgage and inheritance transfer before visiting the land-registry office.
Foreign-acquisition limits for the exact parcel
For each fact use a source capable of proving it and link the result to its effect on purchase, ownership or cost. The Tapu Law text published by TKGM includes limits such as an aggregate maximum of thirty hectares nationwide for a foreign individual and a statutory district-level limit on foreign acquisition of privately owned land, with powers for the authorities to restrict acquisition further. Military, security and special-security areas can be subject to separate restrictions or approvals, and TKGM coordinates the relevant spatial records with competent authorities. Check the specific parcel, buyer identity and nationality at the application date rather than relying on another foreign buyer’s experience in the same neighbourhood.
The review becomes useful when the finding is tied to a defined effect on rights, price, cost or executability and backed by evidence that can be rechecked later. Investment-citizenship and residence-permit rules are also not synonyms for ordinary acquisition eligibility; each route has its own conditions and evidence. A foreign buyer’s acquisition in Türkiye first depends on nationality eligibility and statutory/geographic restrictions; the seller’s willingness is not enough. Turn the review topic into provable facts: identity, date, amount, registry status, document or technical condition.
Property identity and the current registry
Read mortgages, attachments, annotations, easements and other restrictions before a material commitment. Web Tapu allows applications for transactions such as sale, mortgage and inheritance transfer, but it does not make an earlier registry copy current evidence. Turn the review topic into provable facts: identity, date, amount, registry status, document or technical condition. If a representative acts, check the representation document against the party’s identity, scope of authority and transaction type.
A mismatch in unit, share, owner or a newly added restriction requires the file to be reconciled again before payment or completion. The review becomes useful when the finding is tied to a defined effect on rights, price, cost or executability and backed by evidence that can be rechecked later. The current TKGM land-registry record is the starting point for proving the owner and the property; an old title-deed copy or an advertisement is not a substitute. Match the name and identity or legal-entity details, province, district, neighbourhood, ada/parsel and the independent-unit number where applicable. For each fact use a source capable of proving it and link the result to its effect on purchase, ownership or cost.
Power of attorney, authentication and translation
Signature notarisation is not proof of title ownership or authority for every financial act; ownership and registered restrictions remain matters for the current TKGM record. A notarised document is not valid for every property transaction merely because it carries a stamp. For each fact use a source capable of proving it and link the result to its effect on purchase, ownership or cost. When a power of attorney is used, its wording must cover the required disposition and relevant property or authority, and the principal and attorney identities must match.
The review becomes useful when the finding is tied to a defined effect on rights, price, cost or executability and backed by evidence that can be rechecked later. TKGM has specific rules for powers issued abroad; depending on the issuing country and authentication route, an Apostille or consular authentication may be required, together with an accepted notarised Turkish translation. If a party does not know Turkish, land-registry procedures also contain rules for a sworn interpreter. Preserve the accepted original or copy, reference and date and check for any later revocation or limitation. Turn the review topic into provable facts: identity, date, amount, registry status, document or technical condition.
