Step 1 – Finding Accommodation in Advance
Moving to Turkey requires careful planning, especially when it comes to purchasing a property. The main factor determining whether you can move is purchasing a home that will become your property. It is important to start your search early to find the property that best suits your needs and preferences.
Contacting a reliable real estate agency will help you in this process. Choosing an apartment should take into account not only your budget, but also your long-term plans. For example, if you dream of a quiet life by the sea, quiet and picturesque regions will suit you. Planning to move with children? You should consider areas with developed infrastructure and access to educational institutions.

Step 2 – Budget Planning
Planning a budget is an important step when moving to a new country. You need to assess your financial capabilities and calculate how much money you will need to buy a home, as well as everyday expenses such as food, transportation, and medical care. If you do not plan to get a job or start a business right away, it is important to know what your monthly budget will be and how much you can spend.
Your personal manager at the real estate agency will help you not only with choosing a place to live, but also with budget planning. The agency also provides information on local services, such as manicure, pedicure, hairdressers, notary, dental clinics, as well as schools and kindergartens. This will help you better navigate the costs of utilities, food and leisure, which is important for effective budget management in a new country.
Step 3 – Explore Possibilities
Before moving to Turkey, it is important to do your research and understand whether the local culture, traditions, health care system, educational institutions and climate are right for you. The most effective way to check this out is to go on a study tour for a week or ten days. During the “vacation”, you will be able to personally assess the place where you plan to live, meet people and learn more about health care and insurance.
This "reconnaissance" tour can be made even more effective if you consult with a reliable real estate agency in advance. The company will provide advice on the necessary documents, help with choosing housing and budget planning, and also give guidelines on current prices in the real estate market. Working with professionals, you will save yourself the need to independently search for information in various sources, such as chats and groups in Telegram.
Step 4 – Collecting documents
When planning a move, it is important to take care of collecting the necessary documents in advance. Depending on your citizenship, you may need to apply for a visa. You should also clarify the procedure for obtaining a residence permit. You can learn more about it from the article .
If you are moving with children, you should find out what documents are required to enroll them in school. It is also important to decide on the insurance for the whole family and what documents are required to obtain it. All these aspects are critical to ensure a smooth transition to a new life in Turkey.
Your personal manager at the real estate agency will provide free consultations on all issues related to moving. He will provide contacts of verified specialists who will help you with registration of a residence permit and will consult on medical issues.
Step 5 – Adaptation
Adapting to a new country is a complex process that requires preparation and planning. It is important to think in advance about how you will establish contacts and arrange your life. It will be useful to find friends and like-minded people, as well as to learn the local language to more easily integrate into the new environment and expand your horizons.
Your personal manager at a real estate agency can be your first assistant in this process. Regular communication with him will help you not only in choosing a property, but also in adapting to a new culture. The possibility of a video call or a personal meeting will allow you to get to know the manager better and understand how comfortable you will be working with this person. In the end, he will be your main guide and support at first, until you find your own social circle and adapt to a new country.
