    Great video… I have a couple of questions, do you need to translate your documents? Also when you get a rent agreement say from an Airbnb host, do you need to pay the rent for the whole year? Thanks

    • @HowWeLife
      @HowWeLife  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Mai! Thanks for watching our video :)!
      The insurance and the lease should be already in Turkish when you get them from the landlord/ insurance agency. Other than that you don't need to translate anything else.
      Some Airbnb hosts unfortunately do ask that you pay a ridiculous amount of money to get a lease (pay foe the whole year in your case) but honestly you don't have to, many hosts will be okay with just giving you a lease if you're a guest. It would help if you know any property owners in Turkey that would just give you a lease.
      Hope this helps :) ! Good luck!

    What’s the process like during the interview? Is it just a case of handing in your documents or are you “interviewed” by immigration officer in regards to you staying in turkey? Thanks for the info, very helpful

    • @HowWeLife
      @HowWeLife  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Rachel, you will only hand in your documents, if they are complete and your application isn't missing anything, they should give you a piece of paper stating that your application process has been started. You should receive your residency card within 2 - 3 weeks after the day of the "interview". Good luck!

    Hey Karma.
    Can you also mention how long it takes to get the appointment after you submit the application?
    For instance if someone submits an application form and then leaves Turkey it will be good to have an idea how long it can roughly take to get the appointment?
    Can you also mention what happens at the appointment? Do you just submit all the documents like your insurance etc?

    • @HowWeLife
      @HowWeLife  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Rocker! Thanks for watching our video :)!
      The appointment is usually set after 20 days of submitting the application. They actually send you an email within 3 days of submitting your application letting you know the exact date and time of your appointment.
      On the day of the appointment you only need to submit all your documents and if everything looks good then you should get a call within 3 - 4 weeks letting you know that your card is ready for pick up from the post office.
      Good luck :)
