An ordinance has been published regarding changes in the citizenship application procedure. From January 1, 2024, the personal presence of the applicant and his/her spouse will be required when applying for citizenship. Previously, personal presence was only required when taking fingerprints to apply for an investor's residence permit. From January 1, the investor and his/her spouse will also have to be present in person when applying for citizenship, where fingerprints will be taken again and biometric photos will be taken.
