I am thinking of moving to Turkey in 2022. However i would like to open an account there first so i can manage my funds to book an apartment for long term and pay utilities etc. How can i go about it. Please advice the steps and which bank is more friendly to foreigners. I heard its quite hard to even open a simple account to do basic transactions
