Air travel & Visas
Acessibility
Turkey, an important global aviation hub, offers convenient access for most travellers due to its geographical location that connects several continents.
Visas can easily pre-purchased online or at the border for a low cost of €20 - €50 depending on nationality.
Getting Around
Travelling in Style
Hire a car from your inbound airport or a motorbike upon your arrival at your new home. Foreigners need simply to provide their driver’s license and passport, giving them 6-months allowance to drive in the country.
Our countryside locations are nestled among close knit communities where you can have a comfortable stay travelling on foot, by bike, or using local transport. Vehicle hire will be essential for those looking to frequent the beach or explore the culture and history of the wider region.
Money Transactions
Spend like a local
With digital banking services including Revolut, Monzo, and Transferwise – you can avoid extortionate exchange fees and the inconvenience of scouting an exchange bureau.
Apply online and receive your physical card in a few days or set up an ewallet on your smartphone within a matter of hours. You can then send money to your new account, convert your currency to Turkish Lira (TRY) at low currency exchange fees and make purchases at a low or no extra cost.
