It is the branch of law in which the responsibilities of citizens and the rights they acquire, depending on the laws and rules of the country are expressed. There are a number of basic principles in the aforementioned branch of law, which have been adopted separately. In terms of nationality law, the principles in question are "everyone must have a nationality", "everyone should have a single citizenship" and "everyone should be free to choose and change their nationality".

Today, with the shrinking world and developing technology, there is a period in which travel becomes easier and migration increases. Nationality law is one of the important areas for aliens within the borders of the Republic of Turkey. Since September 2018, 7 thousand 242 aliens from 93 countries have acquired the citizenship of the Republic of Turkey by purchasing real estate. Iranians and Syrians are in the first place in the transition to Turkish citizenship. Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemenis follow. There are aliens who want to become Turkish citizens all over the world and applications are made in this direction. Investors from Belize, Djibouti, El Salvador, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Grenada, the Union of Comoros, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and two haymatlos (stateless) have applied for Turkish citizenship in recent years.
