Members assist Members in the Turkey Expat Forums

Our trust-based community was developed to help expatriates in Turkey swap suggestions and advice on all expat-relevant enquiries, e.g., ʺHow difficult is it for an academic expat to have their residence permit renewed?ʺ or ʺWhat are the hottest nightclubs in Istanbul at the moment?ʺ. In a community that’s all about expat living in Turkey, from köfte to Kurban Bayramı, the Sacrifice Feast, the participants of the expat forum Turkey can find fellow expats and internationally minded locals to receive trustworthy and up-to-date responses. On the InterNations Expat Forum for Turkey, there will always be another expat member to make life abroad easier.

From immigration requirements to nightlife and parties: The Expat Forum Turkey leaves no Question unanswered

If you require even more information on expat topics like local infrastructure in Istanbul or embassies and consulates in Ankara, you could also browse our Turkey Expat Guide, another useful resource in addition to the expat forums. Moreover, in our World Forum you can talk about international politics, dual citizenship, intercultural and interracial relationships and other general expat issues. However, for expat assistance on all local matters - from immigration requirements to nightlife and parties - just join the InterNations Turkey expat forums.
