It's not a secret for anyone that for moving to a permanent residence in any other country, you need to carefully prepare in order to avoid unexpected unpleasant surprises. In this article, we will try to tell you about the basic aspects of preparing for the move.

1. Documents. First of all, find out in advance what documents are needed to move to Turkey and prepare them. Be careful and take all the documents at once, without thinking about whether they will be useful or not useful in the future.

First of all, bring with you:

• birth certificate of children;

• certificate of marriage (divorce);

• passports;

• diplomas, school certificates.

Please note that you will need to affix the Apostille stamp to all originals of documents, which confirms their authenticity abroad. If you have school-age children and plan to place them in an educational institution, take care of the documents from the old school. They will definitely be needed, as they are submitted to the Ministry of Education of Turkey in order to assign a child to the next grade. If you have children from a previous marriage, you need to get a permanent residence and study permit for the child in Turkey from the other parent.

2. Start learning the language in advance.

For easy adaptation in a new country, we advise you to study the Turkish language in advance. For this, there are many courses, sites, language learning programs. There are also many teachers who teach the language remotely, both in groups and individually. The main thing is to approach the study seriously and then everything will work out!

3. Think about financial security for the near future.

When moving to a new country for the first time, you will certainly need a certain supply of financial resources (for 5-6 months) in order to draw up the necessary documents, for renting housing (if we are talking about rented housing) and, of course, for everyday needs. It also takes time to find a new job.

Of course, if you have some kind of monthly passive income - from a business or real estate that you rent out in the country of your former residence, all this will be of great help and it will be much easier for you to settle down.

4. Be sure to take out health insurance. After moving to Turkey, you will need to take care of your health insurance right away. It is important to know that the insurance that is issued upon receipt of a residence permit is formal. A minimum cost is paid for it (250-350 Turkish lira per year) and you should understand that such a low price guarantees adequate coverage. Therefore, if the issue of medicine is in the first place for you, think about health insurance in Turkey - private or public - in advance. All family members are automatically covered by the state insurance policy. Analyze the information, call different companies and choose the option that suits you best.

5. Decide on educational institutions. If you are planning a move with children, it is better to study the issue with schools and kindergartens in advance. Turkey has its own system of public education. For example, if you plan to send your child to the primary grades of a public school, one of the parents will have to be at home all the time. Since, according to the rules, at lunchtime he will need to be picked up and fed, then taken to school and picked up again two hours later, when all the lessons are over. There is also a service (school bus) that picks up and brings the child home in the morning and after school. Public kindergartens work, as a rule, only in the first half of the day, private - five to six days a week. But this raises the question of the price for the services provided. The minimum cost for a private kindergarten varies from 1500 TL to 2000-2500 TL, depending on the status of the institution. The same applies to schools: public educational institutions are free, the price tag for private schools can range from 20,000-25,000 TL to 40,000 TL per year. Be sure to include this item in your budget for living in Turkey.

6. Explore the traditions and culture of the country. Try to take the time and learn more about the mentality of the country, its peculiarities, national holidays, public holidays, how, for example, the fast is held, what is and should not be done during it. This knowledge will certainly be useful to you for faster adaptation. Knowing the traditions and behaviors of the local population, it will be easier for you to make friends with your neighbors and get used to life in new conditions.
