Greetings. Welcome to the TurkishClass forums. Read on for the information you wanted. I hope I could help.

I. I'm not an expert on this issue but I have collected information for you and have compared the information with the Turkish law. You will find the information on number III. but you need to stay for 5 years without being abroad for more than 6 months at one stay. After the 5 years you will show some evidence that you are seriously considering to live in Turkia either by merriage, buying a house or having a job. You need to have enough income to earn a living. The easier way is to marry someone from Turkia.

The green card is for USA. It is a lottery for people who want to stay in the USA. It has nothing to do with Turkia. We are a modest country which is not rich and we dont have a lottery or whatsoever.

II. If you feel like reading other people's experiences you can find them here:

III. The information you want is on this website:
http://www.dss.mil/nf/adr/forpref/country8.htm

I have copied the related part here:

TURKEY
