Start preparing well in advance
If you are planning to buy property in Turkey, then you should also worry about finding options in advance. Of course, there are situations when you fall in love with the first apartment you see, you understand – “this is what I dreamed about!” But more often you still have to look at more than one option.
Allow yourself a “trial period”
Come to “live” for a few months. Moreover, it is better to do this when all the tourists have left, and you can feel the soul of the city. And do not come to the hotel. It is best to rent an apartment in Turkey and try to build a life on your own. Even after a couple of months, you will be able to understand the pros and cons of having property in Turkey.
Learn the language
If you speak at least a little Turkish, your adaptation will be much easier. Here are some things you can do to get to know the language:
- Find language courses courses
- Find penpals or websites offering online Turkish learning
- Download a couple of language learning apps.
- Start immersing yourself in the language culture – watch films or series, read books or articles.
Make a move plan
When you decide on a place to live or decide to buy an apartment in Turkey, start making a move plan. You must have at least a month to complete your business at home.
- Be sure to solve all health problems, undergo a full medical examination. The point is not that there are no good specialists in Turkey. There are, and a lot. But while you find “your” doctor, apply for a residence permit, it will take some time.
- Go to the hairdresser, to the beauty salon. After all, again, finding your master is not a matter of one day.
- Prepare all required paperwork, first of all, a passport. It must be valid for at least a couple of years. Also, find out what other documents you may need. For example, to obtain a work permit, a diploma of higher or secondary education is required; to change your driving license to Turkish, you will need to provide a driving school certificate.
- Solve the issue with finances. Even if you are planning to find a job in Turkey, you should definitely have some kind of safety cushion that will make you feel comfortable even if your job search takes several months.
The main thing is a positive attitude
And remember, if you decide to move, all the way you should be accompanied by one thought: “I will succeed, and everything will be fine.” Nobody says that it will be easy; all expats go through a certain period of adaptation when sometimes they want to give up on everything and return to their homeland. Tune in to a positive outcome. And then a new life in sunny Turkey will be filled with happiness.
