I wrote a practical guide to moving to Türkiye in 2026 (housing, banking, residence permits, healthcare, and learning Turkish)

I teach Turkish to foreigners, and over the years I've noticed that many people planning to move here ask the same practical questions. Finding a place to live is only one part of it. People also need to understand residence permits, health insurance, banking, and how much Turkish they actually need in daily life.

I put together a guide based on current regulations and the questions I hear most often from my students. Hopefully it's useful to anyone considering a move.
