Hello, I m Silvana from Brazil.
I plan to move to Istanbul and I'm looking for work or information that can help me.  I am a psychologist and neuropsychologist, but I believe in my area, without speaking the native language, i can't  act.  Thankfully.

Xeeschan

Welcome to Turkey forum Silvana,
I'm order to apply for jobs in tour specific field, I'd recommend contacting the hospitals directly. 
Regarding language,  you are right, it might be extremely hard to find a job unless you speak the native language. 

Good luck

I am a Syrian. Needless to say Syrian nowadays is the synonym of agony.  Life is very expensive and I urgently need a job. 
I have a lot of experience in translation and teaching English

Merhaba I am Ayla (turkish name) from Philippines. I will move to Bursa soon with our bundle of joy, though i already spent my 4 months there in 2014. It is very very hard for me since I am living with my husband's family and nobody speaks English but i manage to learn the basic  :D Turkish language . I look forward to meet with English speakers once I permanently moved there.

Hi,

I am happy to be here, to meet everyone in this charming expat community.
I am a 32 year old yoga teacher and software engineer currently living in Zagreb, Croatia. Am planning to move to Istanbul so I am exploring job options..

WiccanDawn

Maja, wellcome. Try contacting Cihangir Yoga at Cihangir/Taksim/ Istanbul. As far as I know its a good quality studio.

Xeeschan

Welcome to Turkish forum Maja,

You're doing the right thing by finding the job before moving to another country.

Please search/post in the Jobs sections so that you can get more exposure
https://www.expat.com/en/jobs/middle-east/turkey/

Also since you mentioned you are a yoga teacher and s/w expert, you can enlist your services in the Directory section so that more people can read about it.

Good luck

Hi everyone,

I'm Hasan from Istanbul. I've been living here for ages and I'm pretty much capable of surviving in this monstrous city. I lived in Spain and Germany before and want to develop my international network even further.

I know many people around who looks for English teachers and real estate agents. I helped many Ukrainian fellows to settle and work in Istanbul as well. If you're new in Istanbul just chime in! I'll check what I can find to help you.

After all, if everyone helps each other, no one would need any help ;)

Take care pals!

Hey am zeytuun from Nairobi Kenya. Am getting married in Turkey in the next summer. What does it take to become a citizen in Turkey

Xeeschan

Hi Zeytuun,

You'll need to contact Alien’s Branch of Local Police Departments (Emniyet Mudurlugu Yabancilar Subesi) for this. The details are available on the Turkish MFA website.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gracie,

Welcome to the forum. Istanbul is a great place to live in, however the job market is pretty tough. You might want o read online about the employment statistics. 

Here is a link to general overview discussion.
https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=521332

Learning a language depends on your interest and effort.Fastest way could be reading and speaking as much as you can, ofcourse.
Hope this helps. Good luck
