InterNations - A Place for Indians in Istanbul

Namaste to all Indians in Istanbul! Would you like to meet fellow Indian expats in Istanbul? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Indians, e.g. where in Istanbul your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get bhakri?

We would like to invite you to become a member of InterNations Istanbul. As a member of InterNations, you will have access to an active group of Indian expats, hailing from New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and all regions of India.

Why Indian expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Indian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
