ASA Turkey Membership Requirements:
-
Membership is open to all Anambra indigenes living in and around Turkey.
-
There are two categories of membership:
-
Financial member: Self-dependent and able to fulfil all financial obligations of the association.
-
Non-financial member: Self-dependent but unable to afford the financial commitments (not entitled to benefits), or dependent (apprentice, student presenting documents, or other category determined by the association).
-
-
Admission process:
-
Registration fee: 200 TL
-
If transferring from another Anambra association in another country, a clearance letter from the former association exempts from registration fees and other requirements.
-
Late registration requires payment of all dues from one year of arrival or, for old members, after a six-month grace period, and for new members, a one-year grace period before late registration applies.
-
In summary: To become a member, you need to be an Anambra indigene in Turkey and pay the 200 TL registration fee and 50TL for monthly dues (unless transferring from another association). Membership category (financial or non-financial) depends on your ability to meet financial obligations to the association.

The association limits its membership exclusively to Anambra indigenes who currently reside in or around Turkey. This geographical and cultural boundary ensures the group serves its specific community abroad.
The structure is clearly divided into two tiers based primarily on financial participation and subsequent access to benefits:
1 Financial Members are considered the fully contributing cohort. They must be self-sufficient and commit to meeting all financial obligations. Their adherence to these duties grants them full access to the benefits the association offers.
2 Non-Financial Members are either self-dependent individuals who simply cannot afford the required dues, or individuals classified as Dependent Members. Crucially, while they are part of the association, their inability to fulfill the financial commitments means they are not entitled to claim any of the association's benefits.
The "Dependent Member" category is explicitly defined to include those in temporary or educational statuses, such as Apprentices and Students. Students must maintain and regularly prove their current educational status to the association, and the group retains the right to designate any other category it deems appropriate as dependent.
HOW IT IS STATED IN OUR CONSTITUTION
(a) Financial member:
He or she shall be self–dependent and able to fulfil all financial obligation of the association.
(b) Non-financial member:
(a) An intending member shall register with the sum of 50TL.
(b) Transferred members: Anybody from other Anambra association in other countries shall present a letter of clearance signed by the chairman and secretary of his former association and thereby exempted from paying the registration fee and other requirements.
(c) Late registration: any person who has been overdue for registration shall pay all monies concerning dues and outings etc. from one year of his or her arrival in Turkey on the day of his or her registration. For example: if a self-dependent person arrived in January 2010 and fail to register till February 2011, he or she shall pay all dues, etc. from January 2010 to the date of registration. But if he or she registers before the expiration of January 2011, it shall not be deemed late registration. For old anambrarians here, the grace is six (6) months, while the new or fresh ones has one (1) year grace after which it shall be deemed late registration.
These values are applied among and between the members in all matters of common communal interest. Ultimately, this unified approach is intended to benefit not only the members in Turkey but also Anambra State and Nigeria as a whole.
