Very informative Vlog. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! ❤️
Great video.
Hi there. Lots of love from Pakistan. Me and my wife just recently your amazing and incredibly helpful channel at a time when we're planning to move out of the country, especially to Antalya, Turkey. After discovering your channel, we went through as many uploads of yours as we could to educate ourselves. And honestly, all of them are highly informative, well-researched, and brilliant through and through. We were waiting for a video on your 'Cost of Living in Turkey' particularly 2023. Thanks for the amazing work. God bless you wonderful folks.
Hi Danish, thanks for the lovely comment. ❤️ Hope you make the move INSHA ALLAH, best of luck. Also, let me know if you have any questions, or topics that you want me to make a video on. God bless 🤲🏼
Hi bro I’m thinking to shift at turkey can you let me know Please what’s the expenses of every month..
You are welcome in Türkiye!
I’m moving to Turkey soon and this was very helpful :) thanks!
A bus ride now in Ankara 2024 is 17 TL. The taxis start at 75 TL and 90 TL in Istanbul. This past winter my natural gas bill to heat up the 3 bdr apartment was on average 3,000 TL. Electricity 235 TL …Groceries are very expensive.
This was great! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Zain Bhai, can you please share your visa application experience in Turkey. Tell us what visa you applied for, the costs (in Lira and PKR), the documents, the time taken by each step of the process, etc. Nice videos! They're very useful and informative. May Allah bless you and your family with a happy and prosperous life; aameen.
You both have excellent English. You speak good English, very fluent. Which city is better Istanbul or Antalya?
Hi there Mahnoor & Zain! Me and my husband just recently started watching your blogs and get really inspired by them. We are also planning to move to Turkey, Antalya by the end of year. Currently we are searching for work visa option. Right now we both are freelancing, my husband is content writer and I am graphic designer. So my question is that, can we come to Turkey on visit visa and apply there work visa. Or should we have the work permit before arriving there? Can we take our parent with us on the first go. I will be very grateful for any help or guidance you can do offer.
Good info
Thanks
Great job
thank you 😇❤️
Merhaba Welcome back
JazakAllah, very informative. Quick question - have you guys had to pick up Turkish? When you go to stores, are all of the signs in Turkish or can you get around with English in big cities (like Antalya, Istanbul, Ankara, etc)?
99% of the time, you can get by without knowing any Turkish, especially in these big cities. But if you want to bargain, ask directions, talk to a local street vendor and all that jazz, then a little Turkish wouldn't hurt. I suggest keeping Google Translate handy for such scenarios. We took some Turkish lessons when we got here, and now we can hold a conversation at the very least. Only if the conversation isn't too complicated. 😅
Good video. I'm from England.. we have booked a one way flight for 7th September with wife, mum and 2 kids. If you can..make a video on sahibinden. How they show the prices for properties are confusing.
Sure thing, will make a video on it soon. Hope you have a wonderful trip! 😇
Thanks!
So,is that time to move turkey with family?
bro ,can tell monthly expenses of a student living in state dorm?
My wife and I live in Alanya a two hours away from Antalya …we own our house and we dont have kids…. Our average monthly expense is around $1500-$1800 a month ….
Whoaa. We are travelling to Alanya this weekend, and some of the hotel prices are craaaaaazy. 🫣
What do you do for work btw?
Can you also please mention the price of your monthly living how much is the cost is going in Turkey please also mention the price of electronics would you please mention about the TRC. What about the job facilities there giving the job to other people
Hello you both are doing great I am coming to Antalya next week can you arrange meeting with you people.Then we can discuss further .Thanks Tahir Iqbal
Thanks for sharing the information about the living cost in Turkey. Your videos are very informative. I have a question what is the living cost in Ankara for a single person without rent? The living standard is normal, and no smoking or drinking.
Ankara is cheaper than Antalya. Considerably cheaper. I just came back from Ankara yesterday and everything; from food to taxi to groceries seemed cheaper.
@@MahnoZain Thanks
Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl, and thank you so much for your content, I really enjoyed the video. Cheers from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
I was there in December. Lovely country and people but they are suffering to afford stuff in their own country. Things are getting more expensive every month
Dear both, I am watching you since beginning even I visited Anatalya lived at konyalti beach area for 5 days because of your video. You both are doing great work. The price of groceries is hilarious. I am living in Dubai the most expensive cities in ASIA even this price is double of it. However accommodation price in Dubai you even can’t get a studio apartment what you are paying there. 2 bedroom apartments a normal family even can’t think in Dubai.
Thank you 😇 And yes, I agree! We considered moving to Dubai at one time, but the housing prices just didn't make sense. Dubai though🙌🏼😍
I earn 750 USD per month my job is totally remote work! My income becomes almost 20k TKL per month. Should I move to Turkey in this pay rate? I’m Single. I can live in sharing as well
*If you earn , , , At least 2500 USD per month , , , so you can move and survive easily*
What job you do in Turkey Sir please answer?
I want more frequent videos from you.
Thank you Takrim, we'll try to be more consistent 😇 Any particular video that you'd like to see on the channel? 😄
Hi. Thanks for the video. How you manage the language problem in Turkey ?
Hi! I've been here for two years so know a bit of Turkish now. But in the beginning I always used Google Translate to overcome the language barrier.
@@MahnoZain Thanks for the reply. This is something(language barrier) which is stoping me to move to turkey. One more question, which city do you recommend other than Istanbul ?
@@Shan8491 We live in Antalya, so I am going to be a bit biased and say Antalya. 🙈
How much rent 1 or 2 bed flat
Planing a trip to Turkey in September, with rising costs will it still be a good idea to go
Go for it! Also, imo September is the best time to visit Antalya. Most tourists who come here for the sun are leaving or have already left, and hotel prices seem a little sane during that time too. 🙈
I am in izmir right now and having too much difficulty in finding a flat for my family Estate agents are bit dodgy and renting things overprized
Oh no😢 hope you find a place soon. Try sahibinden + google translate combo. It worked twice for me. Best of luck 🤲🏼
bro please tell me what is the average salary in turkey
How much is the living cost for a family of four including everything except school fees. I’d like to know a good standard of living, not high and not low. Thank you very much
I am usually a red meat person, and yesterday, I bought a whole chiken for the first time lol
Me and my husband are freelancers. You and Mahnoor always talk about digital nomads group. Can you share with us some few? We are trying to move to Turkey soon.
Whenever some one asks him anything related to being able to earn money and what he does himself,This guy never answers these questions unfortunately ...
Very excellent and informative video. Thank you very much. What do you do for living in Turkey. If I come Turkey, will you help me. I am a Pakistani, but I have US citizenship. My wife has visited Turkey, but not me. I shall be grateful if you reply me.

Def to a tutorial on sahibinden!
On it, my friend. 🫡
Salaams. JazakhAllah for a very informative video. My name is Yusuf. My wife and I bought an apartment in Muratpasa. We are arriving in Antalya on 12 August for a two week holiday. Was hoping we can meet up for coffee or a meal to make your aquantance and hopefully become friends InshAllah. Please let us know if that’s possible. We have two daughters, 12 and 5 years old. Take care.
W/S.💐 Sure thing, we would love to meet InShaAllah. Could you email at mahnozain@gmail.com so we can share numbers. Or DM us on Instagram.
Looks like Living in Istanbul is Cheaper than Living outside Istanbul. Only the Rent is High in Istanbul but rest is cheaper than what you have told here. example wipes ive got it for 5TL just 4 days ago.
I agree. We traveled to Ankara a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed cheaper too. But the price difference in wipes could also be due to brands.
Hello Mr.Zain .best wishes for you and your family. I like your video... its very informative..... I just wanted to know if there is any investment opportunity for a small investor.
Hello 👋 real estate is a big money maker in Turkey. If you can find a reasonably priced apartment then you're golden.
Thanks a lot.
Kindly give me a maximum figure in TL to live a comfortable life in Istanbul with 2+1 apartment? We are 2 adults + 1 baby girl
If I am getting 3000 us dollars per month is it good enough to live and save
Depends on your lifestyle and # of family members, but $3000 should be more than comfortable.
Why did you show that three fingers?
Excellent content. Can you guys also convert rates in USD for those who are not familiar with conversion rates and are trying to figure out Cost Of Living in Turkiye compared to the U.S.
Sure: Housing: $400-600 Grocery: ~$250 Utilities: $60 Apart from this, you can also add $200/300 for miscellaneous costs like transportation, maintenance fees, house help etc. Let me know if you have any other questions. 😇
@@MahnoZain Thanks for the break-down of costs. Compared to the U.S, C.O.L in Turkiye is quite affordable. Any idea on private school costs? My kids are 10, and 9. For couples/families with kids school tuition costs will have an effect on their total expenses as well. In the U.S I am around ~8k in these expenses. However a big part of my total expenses is my house mtg payments. Also, for those looking for businesses, would you say there are any business opportunities there?
@@muayboran4life the wages right now are insanely low and inflation is extremely high. it is hard to even survive in turkey :(

@@walter-st3fb Do you live there? I also follow a British couple from Australia or the U.K (they have a KZhead channel as well), and they mentioned in one of their videos, how the cost of houses had gone up so high in the last year or two. Would you say, that's still the case, or are the prices of house (to purchase) coming down?
Property 2+1 , what does that mean?
It means a living room plus two bedrooms
@@yucelsaygn6267 why would they list it like that thi? That doesn't make sense and is confusing lol most of em on Airbnb will jus have the bedrooms and living room in the listing, pictures or name each room etc
How much is the tax
Zero tax on income generated from foreign sources. If you buy property or vehicle, there are taxes on that.
@@MahnoZain Thanks for replying. I earn from Facebook so it means I dont have to pay tax on my annual income?
@@Powerplay720 nope.
@@MahnoZain Do you got any video on your channel about settlement in turkey how I can apply from Pakistan
@@Powerplay720 I am in the process of making one. But the process is pretty straightforward - travel to the country on a visit visa (atleast 21 days validity), look for a rental property and sign contract, apply for residence permit and wait for the approval/rejection. ☝🏼this is a dumbed down version ofcourse. And has a 50-50 chance of getting approved (especially if the bank statements aren't strong enough). Your best bet for a 2 year permit is to purchase a property worth atleast $75,000. You can renew it after every two years. And once you've lived here for a total of 5 years, you can apply for citizenship by naturalization.
you never told us were you work and how much you make
Only fans 😎

Turkey has become to expensive for what it is My opinion it’s not worth it no more
Can't disagree with you really. But what would you say is a good alternative to Turkey? For living purposes, ofcourse.
why u guys are so obsessed with english.. chill guys talk in urdu for ur audiance...jazakAllah
Gas is free now.
Yes Putin gift
Yesss! 🙌🏼
Full of scams bro ! It’s a good country if you don’t deal with Turkish service providers specially anything related to Transport…. Rent a car, taxi , maintenance, tire shops lol
Great detailed video. I’m considering moving from 🇨🇦 but am hesitant about job prospects. Are you available to chat over email or what’s app? I would love to get your thoughts
Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of jobs here in Turkey. But best of luck! ❤️ Also you can email at mahnozain@gmail.com
is there any possibilty to contact you by whatsaap please
I've seen all 3 videos over the years. In 2021 it was 2000-2500 TL. Then In 2022 you mentioned 5000-1000TL. I moved to TUR in Dec 2022 and i got a 2+1 furnished apartment in 12000TL 🥲. And now it's soaring even higher.. The depreciation is UNREAL
UNREAL is the perfect word to describe this 😅 And thank you for watching our videos, we really really appreciate it. ❤️
