How do military restricted zones affect purchases by foreigners?

Answer

Law No. 2565 on Military Forbidden and Security Zones works together with Article 35 of the Land Registry Law. Foreign individuals cannot buy or rent in military forbidden zones or military security zones. In special security zones, permission from the governor's office is required. The land registry office checks the parcel in its system.

Unlike the German Sperrgebiet, there is no publicly available map. That is why a block-and-parcel query is essential before any deposit. For housing in central Konya the risk is low; for rural and strategic parcels it is high.

In foreign buyers' files, İnterkon Realty Group requires this query before the deposit.
