The Expat Community Turkey welcomes you!

Merhaba and a heart-felt welcome to the InterNations expat community in Turkey! Our international community caters to your specific needs and supports you in relocating to and putting down roots in Turkey. Living abroad in a foreign country is definitely a great intercultural experience, but typically brings up a lot of questions for the Turkey expat: ʺWhat is the best international school for my kids in Turkey?ʺ, ʺHow do I find a job for my spouse in Ankara?ʺ or ʺWhere in Istanbul can I meet fellow expats and compatriots from my home country?” Just to name a few examples…

InterNations aim is to help you, as an expat, in becoming part of the Turkey expat community and exploring the Turkish way of life in all its aspects: From enjoying the traditional köfte to celebrating Kurban Bayramı, the Sacrifice Feast.

Enjoy the Expat Living in Turkey to the fullest

With attractions ranging from the heavily forested mountains near the Black Sea to semi-desert Anatolia, Turkey fascinates expatriates and globetrotters of many nationalities every year. The sizable expat community in Turkey is, however, mostly drawn to the country by the urban growth of Istanbul and its political as well as economic opportunities, e.g. in the textile industry. Whether you move to and live in Turkey for professional or private reasons, you’ll surely take with you lifelong memories of great international experiences and intercultural exchange.

Become part of Turkey’s lively Expat Community!

In our private community, you can easily get to know fellow expatriates in Turkey in a casual way – within a safe, invitation-only environment where trustworthiness and respectful behavior are key. Ask our helpful and friendly expat members for advice from Turkey’s international community, e.g. with regard to getting a residence permit. Furthermore, you’ll meet with other expats at our high-class InterNations Events – mixing and mingling in hotspots like Ankara or Antalya, for all internationals belonging to the expat community in Turkey.
