Multiple nationality and Blue Card holders in private international law

Development summary

Zeynep Derya Tarman’s article in Başkent Üniversitesi Hukuk Fakültesi Dergisi, published on 4 March 2025, addresses the private international law problems arising from multiple nationality under Turkish nationality law and from the special Blue Card status of persons who left Turkish nationality after acquiring the nationality of a state that does not accept dual nationality. It focuses on the choice-of-law rule in Article 4 of Act No. 5718, the implications of multiple nationality in family and inheritance disputes, security-for-costs exemptions, international jurisdiction in personal-status proceedings, and the issues raised by certificates of heirship, civil registry entries and the recognition of foreign administrative decisions.
