Like to try Istanbul as an English expat. by Rockdad
Hello New member here. I've never been to Istanbul, or Turkey, so I'm fishing in the dark. I first thought of living in Athens, which I know well, but I'd like to try somewhere new, Istanbul, as an English expat. I'd begin with an ...
Hello Does this sound a feasible approach? Constructive ideas/comments would be welcome, particularly if anyone knows of a top floor flat with access to panoramic roof top views. It'd need it to have a lift/elevator and air conditioning. ... Read More

A lot of immigration companies are now preparing for the new law that would be coming into effect on the 1st of January 2020, which would prevent the renewal of the short-term tourist visa, unless, for example, you choose a different ...
I don't say anything. Deduce yourself from the announcement. I think it is a deterrent to flush out all the over-stayers, illegal immigrants and those who are abusing the privilege, like coming here on a tourist visa and then working without ... Read More

Negotiating salary and benefits in Turkey by Bhavna
Hello everyone, Better job prospects in Turkey can most certainly be an incentive to leave your country of origin. Securing a contract with the right salary and benefits for you can be crucial to make your move successful. Is salary and ...
I'll start by saying, it varies. For most expat packages, your term sheet/employment contract is provided to you and negotiated every year. Yo can certainly negotiate and haggle with your respective employer on the offer, but be aware of the ... Read More

Hello everyone, My husband is considering moving all of us to Turkey (we are Arab Canadians living in the Gulf). Specifically Istanbul for business. I could use some recommendations for where we can move, neighbourhoods that have nurseries, ...
You will be lost without actually coming here, spending good 2-3 weeks and seeing different neighborhoods. The beautiful thing about Istanbul is there is a neighborhood out there that you will fall in love with it. The problem is, there are too many ... Read More
Can I make both ends meet with TL 7500-8000 ?? by dibayee
We are a family of 4 (my wife , two kids and me) who want to move to Istanbul in a year or so. I have bought a flat in Beylikduzu and don't need to pay rent. Can we cover all expenses with a monthly income of TL 7500 - 8000 ?? Should be grateful ...
You will be cutting it close. It is an average salary, but then it depends a lot on your lifestyle. Health insurance should also be taken into account and unforeseen expenses (there always are unforeseeable expenses). so whilst 7500-8000 will get ... Read More
Residency for students in a private school in Turkey. by Faida albayati
Dear Friends, If I register my kids in a private school in Turkey can I have a residency for us as a family? Thank you all. Faida
Schools per se cannot issue you any sort of documentation that would be the basis of your residency. As it has been rightly pointed out, you need to secure your own residency and then your children can be confirmed into the school, i.e. you can ... Read More
Bank account without residence permit by Defrenda
As someone stated it this a catch 22 subject. When applying for a residence permit, the officer might and will most probably ask you to show your capability of self support. This shall be documented by sufficient fund deposited into a Turkish bank ...
Just to amplify on my experience: 1. You need not have a 'Turkish' bank account statement to show proof of funds. Your bank statement from your country of origin can be accepted. Turkish statement is nice, but not mandatory. What you have ... Read More

Schools are expensive. If your kids are very young, there is a possibility to have them enrolled in local Turkish schools, but I don't have that experience, also, I am NOT sure you can enroll them in those schools if you are a foreigner. My ... Read More

International schools in Turkey by Negthestraightface
Hello everyone. I'm planning to move to Izmir and am hoping to study 11th grade in an international school (don't know the language well enough to study in a public school). The fee is also important. Can anyone help me out?
International Schools in Turkey are great at marketing and few actually deliver. The ones that do, cost an arm an a leg. Easily expect to pay USD 15,000 (minimum) to about $25,000 per year for your studies. This would not include bus service and a ... Read More

You must ship your articles using a licensed moving company, etc. They will let you know exactly what can/cannot go, during the pre=inspection phase of your move. A couple of weeks before your goods are due to arrive in Turkey, the local appointed ... Read More
