Looking for Belgian Expats in Turkey?

Why Belgian 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 Belgian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Tips and Advice on Turkey from Your Fellow Belgian Expats

Socializing with fellow Belgians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Turkish mentality and way of life. Belgians in Turkey are a part of our community, calling cities such as Ankara, Antalya, Istanbul, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Belgians in Istanbul, for example.
