Indian in Istanbul by Fatima_khan
Hi all,Hope you all are doing great!I wanted to know that how many Indian's are living in Türkiye if there's someone migrated to Türkiye then please tell what are the facilities are there and what type of culture is there can Indian ...

@Fatima_khan I don't know how many Indians live in Turkey, but I guess if there are any, they wouldn't be living all around the country. Istanbul is the most cosmopolitan city, people from all cultures meet there. What do you specifically want to ... Read More


I am sad with the Turkish forum by cdw057
So many messages about jobs. But nothing about the real things (looking forward to your views)Most of viewers are °µÍø½ûÇøs, but almost no input (sadly)-Ikamet-Healthcare (insurance as well)-Cost of living-Public transport (or taxis)-Restaurants (or ...

@mnaghbash Yes, there are some steep hills around. I avoid them if I can :)Well, maybe we can meet when you move here and have some coffee. Or you can message me if you need any help and if there's anything that I can do. I couldn't change my ... Read More

@mnaghbash Well, I might not have the same reasons as the °µÍø½ûÇøs (I see a lot of people from Ireland, the UK and I guess Russia around here). I lived in a village close to the city center in MuÄŸla before KuÅŸadası, and although nature ... Read More

@mnaghbash Hi. I am Turkish but I moved to Kuşadası two months ago, so I am also a newbie here. I haven't had the chance to explore much yet, but I hope I will soon. About swimming pools, etc. Here, everything depends on the apartment ... Read More


Moving to Istanbul on a 50,000 lira (gross) salary. by Sudz
I'm wondering if this is decent for a single guy? I'm currently at a busy, but reasonably comfortable job here in Japan, but have been offered a university teaching position in Istanbul. I am not going there for the sole purpose of money (more for ...

@Sudz The problem is, when they are hiring, all universities must follow the rules and regulations of YÖK, which is a formal institution. And it states that you must have a BA (and for most departments, an MA with a thesis) to be able to teach ... Read More

@Sudz You don't have a BA from any department at all? Well, in that case, no offense, but I'm surprised that they even offered the job. If it was a language course or another private institution, primary school level etc. I wouldn't be surprised. I ... Read More

@Sudz Now I'm confused. What's the teaching position, and what is the department? Is your degree not directly linked to the department they offered the position at? Read More

@Sudz Yes, the reliability of the employer makes a huge difference. Koç is a big name in Turkey, and it doesn't just hire anyone, they do their own research before offering you a job and the authorities know that. Of course, the nationality ... Read More

@Sudz Yes, Hacıosman is even closer, so it's a good option. Well, regarding the visa process, it's usually the Turkish citizens who have a hard time, so almost all the bad stories I hear about are from Turks trying to visit other countries. And ... Read More

@Sudz If you are not a big spender and will be happy with a small apartment in a crowded area, I guess you can find a more affordable or shared apartment around Mecidiyeköy, Esentepe, or Levent, near Yıldız Teknik University maybe. ... Read More

@Sudz It's a very nice campus, but it is pretty far away from the city. I worked with an American professor from Koç briefly, but he left the country some years ago (due to the general political climate in the country, but I felt that it ... Read More

@Sudz Which university? It might affect everything from the location of your apartment to your lifestyle and overall happiness. I have worked for 3 different universities, studied at three, and have some idea about a few more... Read More


ESL Job offer by Thandolwethu Ndabeni
Hi,I am a 27 male from South Africa, Cape Town. I recently got a job offer in Turkey at a school called Soma Kars Private School. According to the school's website the school was established in 2004, however there are zero reviews on glassdoor from ...

It looks like a fake company / a scam. The map image shows an apartment building, which is the first flag. Then I looked the school's name up on the ministry of education (MEB in Turkey) website, but the school is not registered there and every ... Read More
