Syrian nationality, Armenian nationality, North Korean nationality, Cuban nationality, and Nigerian nationality. - The age of the person who will register the property in his name or buy the property should be over 18 years old.

Either establish a company in Turkey by paying its taxes and fees and registering the property in the name of the company, and this is an easy option for merchants who own businesses, as they have established their commercial company previously.
Or registering the property in the name of a relative who has a different nationality, and a mortgage sign can be placed on his property to guarantee his legal and financial rights. In general, these methods are not recommended for not knowing their consequences in the future and to avoid falling into undesirable dilemmas and complications.
