Find Tips and Advice on Turkey from Chinese Expats

Of course, expat living in Turkey is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Chinese is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Turkish way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Chinese in Turkey, residing in Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Chinese in Istanbul or Chinese in Ankara.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your native language, discover where to shop for Chinese food or discuss your favorite sports team's latest match, become a member of the Turkish InterNations Community:

  • Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from China in Turkey.
  • Obtain and share insider tips in our Turkey Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get Peking duck & hot pot in Ankara.
  • Search the InterNations Places database for Turkey to get information on institutions from your home country, including the Chinese embassy.

From the Bosporus to Aegean Turkey, between the azure sea and silvery olive groves, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly Chinese expats in Turkey.

Join Our Expat Activities and Mingle with Fellow Chinese in Turkey

Moreover, please feel free to attend our regular expat events and activities in Turkey. Our get-togethers are very diverse and range from a cozy gathering to enjoy the traditional Turkish köfte, to big expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Istanbul’s best locations. You can also participate in one of our expat trips to go and see semi-desert Anatolia as well as other beautiful landmarks in Turkey.

Our meet-ups and activities are a great opportunity to mingle with expats from China and various other countries in a casual setting. Interested? Just sign up and you’ll soon be receiving a cordial Ni hao from our Chinese living in Turkey!
