Hi everyone 😊
My name is Amy I’m 28 and from the UK. I am a Dental Hygienist and Dental therapist. I am also qualified in facial Aesthetics. I am interested in emigrating to Turkey but believe I am unable to work as a Hygienist due to not being a Turkish citizen. I would like help to find out if there is a way around this , additional exams , visas and people to email etc. I have already contacted the Turkish Dental Association and waiting on a reply. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Best Wishes

Hi.  Alan from Sydney Australia.  Wife & I are fast approaching pension age which means we can flee to Turkey to live.  That's the idea anyways.

I have read one can buy an apartment/s for a total of about 1.5 million lira and after some paper work etc. sooner or later you are a turkish citizen and can live there.

I need to chat with people who have some knowledge of this or can direct meto  others who can help. 

Love to chat with another who has done this as the companies on line are a bit pushy.

Hello All,

Joined few moments back. Oh well I am in the phase of travelling to Turkey to look for business opportunities with limited budget.

For whatever info I gathered so far from the internet is that it is imperative to get the Residence permit first as to means of staying legally.

Furthermore, a new country means one need local people / expats living to guide hence joining this forum.

Hoping to hear from some of the pros soon.

Cheers People and have a great weekend.

Welcome Iurooj

Depending on your budget in my opinion finding a flat in Istanbul can be the most challenging part.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Expat.Com 

How about you, Whitehatnomad, have you been successful in finding a flat ? 

All the very best,
Bhavna

Thank you Bhavna

No, but I've learned a lot.
I like to share my experiences with finding a flat.

Does expat.com has the ability to share experiences? Like a blog post?

If you have time and wish to share your experience, you can submit an article : https://www.expat.com/en/add-guide/middle-east/turkey/

Feel free to post your own "looking for" advert in the Housing in Turkey section section, your search will definitely benefit from more visibility.
