Working and living in Turkey – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Turkey requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Turkish expat life. Living abroad in Turkey raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Turkey?ʺ, ʺHow difficult is it for an academic expat to have their residence permit renewed?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Istanbul should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Turkish municipality in Ankara?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Turkey is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Turkey aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Turkey. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from local infrastructure, to expat institutions & clubs or embassies and consulates, up to restaurants & nightlife. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺWhat are the hottest nightclubs in Istanbul at the moment?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
