Hello I am trying to figure out how to move to Turkey and get a residence permit. Can anyone direct me with legitimate advice?
hello,
Yes we can help you but after know your nationality
I just moved here from the USA 6 months ago. Send me more information about where you are coming from and what your working situation is. What you see as your future here. I can put you in touch with a very good and inexpensive lawyer and great real-estate company. Both very highly rated and trustworthy.
Good luck my friend
Hello!
I would love the information. We are Canadian family looking to move to Turkey. Explore university education for my oldest and homeschool the rest until graduation. Is it possible to get ideas?
Thank you!
Hi, google Turkish schooling etc, I lived there for 10 years, lots of expats have children in schools all over Turkey.
The children learn Turkish quicker that way.
For your eldest, there are many public and private universities in Turkey that have bachelors programs taught in English. I suggest he just start checking the University websites and what requirements they have for international students. Most universities have an English version of their website.
Hi, hope you are doing ok!
It’s Better not to move in Turkey, rest up to you!
It would be very helpful Kami_cap if you expanded on your strong comment that you would not recommend moving to Turkey as there are many people who have expressed their satisfaction in making the move and for those of us including me who are seeking to make the move to live in Turkey.
It serves no purpose to make a blanket statement without supporting your assessment.
Hi, hope you are doing ok! Well, long story short, if you can’t speak Turkish at a scale you are good for nothing no matter what.
My name is Muhammad kamran, by profession I’m certified chartered Accountant (ACCA) + ICAEW qualified Also BSc Hons from Oxford Brookes University UK.
Furthermore, in pakistan and Dubai I have been working with big four audit firms but still couldn’t get the expected job here since the language barrier is a hard nut to crack! If you are job oriented person trust me this is not a place for you.
If you want to do some business turkey is perfect and you will find thousands of opportunities in business domain, but still rate of dying is too much because of language, people doesn’t speak English here and you will become sick in just few months, you will be more dependent on locals.
It just impossible to live in country like turkey without learning language, you will have to go out, will go for shopping, some time you will become sick and likely to visit hospital at that point of time you realise how difficult it is.
In every facet of life you will be facing this language issue.
I would highly recommend you to learn language in first place because it’s essential here. If you need to know anything else about turkey, don’t hesitate to write me.
Thank you for providing context to your statement recommending not to move to Turkey.Â
I have no insight on career opportunities that may exist in Turkey for native Turks as well as for expatriates who are not fluent in Turkish. But based on your credentials, you appear to be a lucrative candidate. For me personally, I am retired so I have no worries in that regard. I will add that not knowing the language in any country would certainly impose quite a few constraints in day to day living.  As many other members of this community have posted, it is wise to invest your time to learn as much Turkish as you can prior your arrival. There are quite a few Turks who have enough proficiency in English that will gladly assist you as I have encountered in my travels through the country.
Regardless, best of luck in your pursuits.Â

Hello all. My name is Dennis from the USA I have been in Kusadasi Turkey now for 7 months. I have retired here. It has been a great experience so far and I have made many friends. Mostly good some not so, so be very careful before you let anyone in too close.
The text today is primarily dedicated to the language barrier here if you do not know enough Turkish to have even a simple discussion. As Kusadasi is primarily a tourist city there are many English-speaking Turkish people and for the most part, I have had very few if any problems getting the things and services I need. But I will admit I could have saved myself a lot of time in many cases by knowing how to speak the language here. I am trying, but at the age of 75 I am finding it a little difficult, but I will keep trying. I have found that 95% of the time when a Turkish-speaking person sees I need help there is always someone ready to jump in to make your easier. I do believe if anyone wants to live in a foreign country it is not only responsible of themselves in addition respectful to try to learn enough for at least a simple conversation. I could give you many situations I have encountered here but this text is getting to long, Hope this gives you a little insight into life here.
Dennis
What kind of jobs are available for those who can have an English Language academic degree and are not from an English-Speaking country?
If you are planning to move to Turkey....you MUST check out the files on Doc Martin's Surgery for expats (on Facebook) link here  and ....all your questions will be answered there. You can do the RP application yourself. Don't get an expensive agent. The website for the application is not good but if you look at Doc Martin'sfile you will find work-arounds to any problems. When you have done that...please check out my chuckle-laden book Twelve Camels For Your Wife (on Amazon) about living in Turkey. 500 copies sold, 70+ five star reviews on Amazon.

Yes. It is extremely hard to get a work visa to Turkey, and to find a job in Turkey now. The only way you can find a job is if you have a masters degree/PHD, or if you are certified in some other field that is needed in Turkey. 90% of the jobs will require you to speak Turkish, and if you don't speak Turkish they won't hire you.
If you do find a job in Turkey they will expect you to work below the wage of a Turk, which means you will only be working for 150-200 USD a month. The only way for you to survive on that in Turkey is living with 4-5 other people in a studio apartment.
The only jobs that will be available for women in Turkey that will pay well is either a live in maid or a live in nanny. But be careful with these jobs because you will find many of them are not true, and are used to lure women to Turkey.
The Turkish economy gets worse and worse by the day. And if you get paid in Turkish Liara you will find the value of your pay going down every single day because the Turkish liara is always devaluing, and becoming less, and less. When I first came to turkey last year it was 8 TL for 1 USD. Now it is 17.91 TL for 1 USD.
