InterNations - A Place for Swiss in Istanbul
Grüezi, salut, buongiorno, bainvegni to all Swiss in Istanbul! Would you like to meet fellow Swiss expats in Istanbul? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Swiss, e.g. where in Istanbul your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get rösti?
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 Swiss expats, hailing from Zurich, Bern, Geneva and all regions of Switzerland.

My business partners, also mainly expats, and me, we always use the wonderful InterNations Events as an informal get-togethers.

Attend our monthly events and activities and join various interest-based groups to get to know like-minded expatriates and fellow Swiss in Istanbul.
Why Swiss 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 Swiss members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends
Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? 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!
