Questions about living in Turkey

The cost of living in Turkey is generally not high compared to other civilized countries; the minimum wages are enough for a decent life, not to say, it is relative as per one’s demands and income.

No doubt it is not that hard to get a residence permit in Turkey. Still, it depends on one’s choice as there is a wide variety of residence permits in Turkey, such as real estate residence permits, student residence permits, humanitarian residence permits, and short-term residence permits. Though each has a different mechanism, the Turkish government is facilitating its process.

Turkey is open to regional and global trade with commercial and economic power, making it easy to find a job, especially in the liveliest cities like Istanbul, Bursa, Gaziantep, and many more. Still, getting a work permit is mandatory.

Living in Turkey varies according to one’s objectives and plans. On the one hand, some tend to stay away from the hustle and bustle of city life. On the other hand, others enjoy living in the lively cities to ensure good commercial and financial investment. Moreover, some aspire to combine rural and urban types of life; they head to Istanbul as it has the potentials for both. Trabzon, the bride of the Turkish north, is an essential gate between East and West via the Black Sea, as well as Antalya, Bursa, and Izmir.
