BEING AN EXPAT IN TURKEY: WHERE TO STAY?

Writer: J's Cozy HomesJ's Cozy Homes

The word “expatriate”, meaning “to migrate”, is derived from the word “expatriate” and is defined as an employee working in multinational companies called “corporates” outside their own country. Expats who work in positions such as managers and experts in international companies have to live “permanently” in that city for a few years, so they start a new life in the country they go to.


Thanks to changing digital and technological conditions, the population of this group, which can work independently in every corner of the world, has exceeded 35 million today.


Living in Istanbul, Turkey’s largest metropolis and cultural capital, also attracts a lot of attention from expats. Many international companies send their employees to Istanbul to strengthen their ties with Turkey and accelerate their work here, allowing their employees to continue their work here.


Living in Istanbul as an expat means being a tourist and not having time to get bored. Istanbul, which was selected as the European Capital of Culture in 2010, offers expats many touristic activities for the weekends with its dazzling Bosphorus view, historical museums, nature parks and colorful streets. However, according to the “The Expat Explorer” survey conducted by HSBC in 100 countries, foreigners working in Turkey like Turkish cuisine and climate the most. According to the survey results, 85 percent of foreigners working in Turkey say they easily adapt to the local cuisine and 82 percent to the climate.

According to a study conducted by the Migration Research Association (GAR), expats prefer the Kadıköy region in particular due to its urban, high level of education; high-priced housing market compared to other districts; the prevalence of economic activities requiring education and expertise and the liveliness of social life. One of the most important reasons for this preference is that Kadıköy has a neighborhood life that is urbanized but also maintains traditional culture and makes foreigners feel safe.
