Dual citizenship: Bangladesh and Turkey
Can you keep your Bangladeshi passport? Usually yes — here’s the nuance.
Turkey permits dual citizenship, so becoming Turkish does not require you to give up your Bangladeshi nationality. Bangladesh allows dual citizenship with many countries, often via a Dual Nationality Certificate. Confirm your specific position under Bangladeshi rules as part of planning.
Does Turkey allow dual citizenship?
