Are there any difficulties with purchasing real estate in Turkey online if a person has never been to Turkey or has changed their passport after a trip to Turkey?

If a person has never visited Turkey, there will be no problem obtaining a power of attorney through the consulate, but obtaining a Turkish tax identification number may be challenging. A Turkish tax identification number can be obtained online through the tax authority's website, but only if the recipient's passport is in the Turkish database (this is obtained upon visiting Turkey, after passport control). Without a passport in the database, the system may refuse to issue a tax identification number, indicating an error.

In this case, to obtain a tax number, you must submit an application in person to the Turkish Tax Authority, along with a printed copy of the tax number denial letter, which you can obtain online, and present your passport. Obtaining a tax number takes just a few minutes. It is impossible to obtain a Tapu without a Turkish tax number.
