Due to sanctions and complete isolation, Russians are fleeing the country en masse to Turkey, but this may not be the best idea right now. It is necessary to think about where they will live, what they will eat and how to work in advance. This is how old expats cool the passion of “freshly baked” emigrants from the Russian Federation.
According to a local blogger on her blog, there are three main difficulties. These are renting / buying an apartment, obtaining a residence permit, as well as work and its “political and financial side”.

But first about housing: This is the first thing you need to find before moving. The number of emigrants in Turkey is growing every day! There are a lot of willing Russians! Plus, Ukraine is also moving here en masse. Someone to wait, someone to move thoroughly. It came to the point that the real estate market is simply not enough! – with a large number of exclamation marks posted by a blogger. As a result, it is difficult to find an apartment “even at a price higher than the city average”, both for rent and for buying an apartment. So far, we are talking about the main popular cities – Antalya, Alanya, Istanbul.
As for the residence permit, the blogger assures that the residence permit is reluctantly given to everyone except Ukrainians! “There was a time when everyone was denied in a row, citing innovations. It started on March 1. Then there were cases that began to accept documents, “- she adds, and then tells the following” reason “from the Turkish authorities. “A person pays for all the” papers “with the calculation of the PNC for the year. And this is insurance, apartment rent (one-year contract), state duty. But for the most part, the card is received for a maximum of 6 months. Someone for 4 months, someone for 5. For how long will they know after receiving a residence permit. And as always – all at the discretion of the employee in the emigration service”, the Russian complains.
She also adds, in addition to the basic documents require a certificate of “numbering”, ie, confirmation that the taxpayer lives in the apartment for which the contract. “Previously, such an agreement could be bought, and no one checked anything. He won’t be able to ride now,” the blogger laments.
The Turks are also interested in the solvency of the “victims of the regime”, and it is not easy to confirm this in the conditions of sanctions: Also on this card there should be a monthly movement of funds (amounts are always different, from about 7,000 lira per person / month).

The blogger also reminds potential emigrants that there is a crisis in Turkey in general – and the question, as they say, “where to eat” they would be better to decide in advance. “Many ask me if it is possible to find a job without knowing a foreigner. The answer is obvious – you can do anything! Only you have to be such a person, a specialist, etc., that the employer wants to formalize you, on a work visa,” – she said, and further recalls that in Turkey” too crisis “and” prices are rising just incredibly fast on At the same time, work in tourism cannot be considered a win-win situation – no one knows when the season will start and whether it will begin. “Special attention will now be paid to illegals.”
The result from the Turkish blogger is complete: “Friends, I would not like to deny you the desire to move to Turkey now, but the reality is this. My advice is not worth it! You better wait, this is not the best time.”
