Hi Karma, Thanks for the helpful tips on living in Turkey. Which I find very informative, my wife & I will be coming there pretty soon to check out the place & thereafter decide if we would like to stay on.
Glad it was helpful! best of luck to you guys :)!!
Thanks a lot. It is very helpful info.
Super useful
Wow this is so helpful, thank you! I am planning on moving in a few months :))
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck moving to Turkey :)
I opened account in Ziraat bank without any deposits, their mobile app is superb.
Amazing
Not the first time I hear that for the appointment you need a pink Dosya folder for the papers. I got my Ikamet in Antalya and at randevou they took all the documents and gave us back that folder, so it wasn't needed at all.
Thanks!👍
!! Wow, we also want to live in Besiktas! :)
wounderful
👏
Hi karma, thx for the vid. Can you please advice, How do you go about providing a proof of accommodation - rental lease - if you don’t intend to stay in one place in Turkey?
Yo 😍
Hey great video...we are trying to move to turkey as well.. with family...wondering if we cab get a decent job..what is your advice on the same...
Once you have a lease signed, do you have to stay in the country? Or can you leave for extended periods of time? Great videos by the way. I have been sharing them all over.
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏼😊 Once you have the residency permit, you can travel freely in and out of the country as much as you want.
Great video… I have a couple of questions, do you need to translate your documents? Also when you get a rent agreement say from an Airbnb host, do you need to pay the rent for the whole year? Thanks
Hi Mai! Thanks for watching our video :)! The insurance and the lease should be already in Turkish when you get them from the landlord/ insurance agency. Other than that you don't need to translate anything else. Some Airbnb hosts unfortunately do ask that you pay a ridiculous amount of money to get a lease (pay foe the whole year in your case) but honestly you don't have to, many hosts will be okay with just giving you a lease if you're a guest. It would help if you know any property owners in Turkey that would just give you a lease. Hope this helps :) ! Good luck!
Hi guys , I like the videos from my country and my city :)) please you can ask any questions to me, looks like not a lot Turkish people discovered this brilliant channel yet :)))
Thank you Sercan :)!
Very informative.. Have you managed to receive your residence card/residence permit yet or are you still waiting for it? Thanks again for the well put-together vid 👌🏾
Thank you 🙏 Yes, I received it about a month after I applied.
Amazing, do u need to renew it like here in Dubai, u have to renew every 2 years
@@nannykhalifa6797 Yes! You'll need to renew it before it expires to make sure you maintain a legal status in Turkey :)
What’s the process like during the interview? Is it just a case of handing in your documents or are you “interviewed” by immigration officer in regards to you staying in turkey? Thanks for the info, very helpful
Hi Rachel, you will only hand in your documents, if they are complete and your application isn't missing anything, they should give you a piece of paper stating that your application process has been started. You should receive your residency card within 2 - 3 weeks after the day of the "interview". Good luck!
great video , do you show some kind of bank statement or any financial requirements needed ?
Hi! No, not at all. 👌🏼
So you just need a year lease? You don't need a job or a certain amount deposited?
Hey Karma. Can you also mention how long it takes to get the appointment after you submit the application? For instance if someone submits an application form and then leaves Turkey it will be good to have an idea how long it can roughly take to get the appointment? Can you also mention what happens at the appointment? Do you just submit all the documents like your insurance etc?
Hi Rocker! Thanks for watching our video :)! The appointment is usually set after 20 days of submitting the application. They actually send you an email within 3 days of submitting your application letting you know the exact date and time of your appointment. On the day of the appointment you only need to submit all your documents and if everything looks good then you should get a call within 3 - 4 weeks letting you know that your card is ready for pick up from the post office. Good luck :)
Please,can you tell me where I can find a legalized english-turkish translator in Istanbul, or an office, for renting a flat etc.Thank you in advance.
Thanks a lot for this video! I have an important question please. I'm an international student from Nigeria and I'll be resuming to a university in Turkey by January. And I need to do a travel health insurance, can I use an insurance company there in Turkey instead of Nigeria ? Sorry for the long text
Yes you definitely can! Nippon insurance is the health insurance company I used here but you can also use any company in Turkey
@@HowWeLife thank you so much
You know more than me about Turkey. And I'm Turkish hahahaha
my landlord doesnt want to give me the vergie numerasi and he is delaying too much , I need it for my residant card, what should i do, I already paid him rent and 2 month deposit ,plus 12% commission. Total 30,000 TRY. he wants to give the tabu and address of another property (not the one I am living in). what should I do? will I get in trouble if i give a differnt address.
Could not access he's code link. What is it a form of id?
Looks like HES code is no longer required to enter Turkey as of March 2022
Hi, What is the Service Office you refer to? Is it a Department of Immigration Service Office?
The one I refer to in the video is the office right out side the Department of Immigration HQ, it offers printing and photography services, they also have a list of the required docs you need for the residency application.
Hey thanks for the video I am not sure regarding the bank account, Apparently it is required to make sure an applicant have sufficient funds to sustain the cost of living, So when depositing the documents What kind of proof was required to show you have needed funds for next 12 Months for example ? Thanks for reply
Hello! Thanks for watching our video. In my case and David's they did not ask for any proof of funds, I don't really know anyone that was asked to provide any bank statements to get the residency permit. Good luck :)
Hi there thanks for information How long does it take to get turkish TRC card? From submission of application to get the card?

Hello Shahriar, It really depends on you, but it took me about 2 - 3 days
I didn't understand,do I need to show an income and when how much should it be?(when I do not have a property) THANK YOU
You don't need to show a proof of income to apply for a short term Turkish residency .
@@HowWeLife Thank you very much!
Hi there. Is vaccination proof required for public transport in Turkey?
Hello, no it's not. You just need the HES code that you can get by downloading an app called : Hayat Eve Sigar
As a british citizen do i required to show bank statement for TRC?
Hi Saeed, no you're not. They do not request proof of funds. Good luck!
What is a HES code?
I need your help please l want to relocate to Turkey what is the best way to use to relocate to Turkey? If l apply for a school Unirvesity can l work whilst lm studying? Please reply me please 😭😭😭
For how long does the short term residence permit get issued
Depends on the period you request the permit for, but we do recommend you apply for 1 year.
Hello.. so I can fly there as a tourist for 1month then apply for residence permit, is that possible?
Yes it is !
What bout income tax ?
hi there, what is the fees of temporary resident card for 1 year?
Hi Salman, it depends on your country of citizenship, you will have to pay a one time tax fee when you apply.
So basically with HES code you've been tracked anywhere you go. This sucks big time.
Yes... definitely concerning fo us as well 😕
All the world the tracking systems has been there in place for last 30 years it's nothing new.🍓

Hi Karma, I m from Canada. Is Canadian Citizen needs a Visa in advance to Travel to Turkey.... OR, it is on Arrival airport of Turkey for Canadian Passport holders.. Kindly reply. Asrar M.S.
Hi Asrar, as a Canadian citizen you do need a visa to travel to Turkey, it's a very simple process. You need to apply for an e-Visa that takes approximately an hour to get processed. Here's the link www.visasturkey.com/ Good luck!
But is in Europe or Asia?
The department of immigration is on the European side
Always go to GARANTI. ALWAYS.
Can an India citizen relocate to Turkey?
I believe you can apply for a visa and then start the process of immigration while you are here.
