Before buying real estate in Turkey, many people are concerned about the question: Where to find and how to get a job?

There are many vacancies here for foreigners, and not only in the tourism sector. It is not difficult to get a job in Turkey, even knowledge of the local language is not required. Salaries in Turkey, when compared with many regions of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, are higher, and the cost of living, on the contrary, is low. There is a pleasant climate, high-quality products, inexpensive housing.

The main market for foreign labor in Turkey is the former USSR countries (Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Georgia, Russia, etc.). This is partly due to the fact that Turkish entrepreneurs need employees who speak Russian well. In 2004, the Association of Russian Culture was even created, which helps emigrants find work in the country and adapt faster. Branches of the organization are located in large cities - Alanya, Antalya, Istanbul and Izmir.

The most in demand are seasonal workers - animators, guides, dancers, models, English teachers for the summer. In addition, in Turkey there is a constant shortage of female workers, therefore, there are many vacancies for nannies and nurses, maids, qualified nurses, waitresses, seamstresses, hairdressers on the corresponding sites.

Due to the rapid development of the housing market, the country is in need of builders, engineers and designers. Not to mention highly qualified specialists: doctors, teachers, IT workers.

There is one very important point: in order to officially work in Turkey, you need to obtain a work permit, which is issued by the employer for whom you will work.

You can get permission directly in Turkey. But this is only suitable for foreigners who have a residence permit in the country for a period of at least six months.

The second option is at the Turkish consulate of your country, where you will need to submit a package of papers: the original of the employment contract, a document confirming the signature of the head of the company, as well as copies of these documents. After the application is accepted, you are assigned a number that must be reported to the employer.

If you plan to live in Turkey permanently and want to have unlimited access to the labor market (without obtaining work permits), you can think about applying for local citizenship. There is a state program in Turkey, according to which a passport can be obtained in 3 months. Condition - to buy real estate in the amount of $ 250 thousand.

Also, owners of real estate of any value can obtain a residence permit. This type of residence permit does not give the right to work (the permit will have to be obtained separately). But after 5 years of residence in Turkey, it will be possible to apply for citizenship through naturalization.
