Tabea

Hey,
My name is Tabea, I'm from Germany and right now I am doing my Erasmus semester in Istanbul and I really felt in love with this city and Turkey. Because of that I am writing one of my research papers in university about the differences between the process of migration in Germany and Turkey: "What are the problems? How does the process work? What do you need to migrate? How do you feel about the cultural differences?" and so on.
It would be great if you can answer the following questions, you would help me a lot! A short answer is also fine, so don't feel like you have to take a lot of time for it (of course that would be awesome as well :)) You can just write me a private message with the answers if you want to help :)
Maybe one day I can even use it for myself because I would love to come back to Turkey after my graduation.
If there are any questions, just let me know! Thank you in advance, I really appreciate your help!!

Best regards,
Tabea

It is so strange. Why you need it..

Tabea

Because I have to write a research paper about it. Why is it strange?

This is not correct. A German passport does not open you any doors in Turkey. Even a master degree in Engineering is not enough for Turkish authorities. In my case, I needed a confirmation that I am an Engineering specialist to aquire my work permit.
