- In today's video we visit with Selma a Turkish Residency Expert in Antalya Turkey. ,The city of Antalya is a bustling beach city of 2,500,000, which is a popular tourist destination, as well as a year round favorite Expat location. The average US Retiree on Social Security receives $1,550 a month, and a couple on Social Security receives over $2,500 a month. A US Expat living on Social Security can expect a great standard of living in Turkey when compared to the living costs in the US.
Currently Turkey is a tremendous value for Expats with income from abroad, the exchange rate when this vide was made was 13.5 Turkish Lira to the US Dollar.

Do you want to live abroad as an Expat? Are you looking for affordable and viable options? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and also discover if Residency is an option.
We began our retirement in March of 2020 with the intent to travel the world, spending 1-3 months in a country or location. We want to see what it's like to live there and not simply visit, and we want to share these experiences and the costs with whoever wishes to follow along.
We will make a commission on these links, your rates are not impacted.

Congrats to all 4 of you! Two-year residency with a mere 60 day requirement is a gift from Turkey. I am so impressed with the country after seeing your videos and watching your interviews with ex pats living in Turkey.
Thanks, we opted for the one year, in hind site we probably should have did the two year.
Turkey is such a great country, my plan is to retire there. You just cannot beat the cost of living and quality of life.
It can provide a fantastic quality of life 👍
You and your family can get citizenship if you invest $250.000 in Turkish Real Estate. The problem due to the Turkish lira being a Fiat currency everyone in Turkey is buying real estate to escape inflation. Real Estate transactions are done in dollars only. The Ukraine war has destroyed the Turkish economy due to the closure of the Black Sea. I have a lot of Turkish friends and they are leaving.
The price WAS $250,000, it will soon be $450,000
Thank you so much for this great information and congratulations on your residency in Turkey. We are following all your clips and each time we appreciate the info. Hope to see you there soon! 😊
Thanks we appreciate you watching. 😁
This is the first well and informative done video I ever watched.
Thanks we appreciate that 😁
Great informative video, thanks Warren and Julie. Makes a lot of sense to apply for residency in Turkey. Safe travels.
Thanks we appreciate you following our travels 😁
Excellent job WJ. You made it so easy. Thanks for introducing this nice who would hopefully make it easier.
And who knows you might have an office of your own in few months.
Thanks and good luck from all the Turkish lovers.
Thanks, we are glad you liked it 😁
Thank you for sharing the video!
Thank you for watching us. ☺️
Thank you, this answered many of my questions.
Thanks! We are glad to hear that 😁
Without a doubt one of the best and most informative videos I've seen on how to obtain Turkish residency. Thank you I will most definitely be saving her details for future reference
Great! Thanks for commenting 😁😁
Hi... Thank you for sharing this informative video. I have a small IT company that I would like to relocate to Turkey. But this was very helpful for personal residency. Thanks again, Julie, you asked spot-on questions about the language and the medical. Much appreciated!
Thank you for watching us 😊
I am very glad the video was helpful for you. Turkiye is a lovely place. I'm very excited to return in Autumn 😌
Excellent! Very helpful information! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching us 😊
This is by far is most best informative video about Turkey , great job guys 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
After about 100 vids on residence in Turkiye, this one answered just about every single question I had...thank you :)
There have been some changes. We plan to do an updated residency video in the next month or two. The changes took place shortly after we did this interview.
Excellent information. Love ❤️ guys. I am planning to retire in Turkey. This was very helpful. I live in DC. USA 🇺🇸.
Thanks, we appreciate you watching and commenting. ♥️
Dear Warren very good and informative video and you ask very good questions almost all the question which is in my mind and I want to know keep it up good job.
Thanks we are glad you found it informative 😁
Great information. Thanks you!
Such a true and fact filled video, Thanks for sharing wonderful place.
We appreciate you watching and Hope things go well for you with your Turkish residency.
Thanks for such an Informative effort over here. Bet I will need the lady's services soon, as we are contemplating to relocate to Alanya. Super Like!!!
Alanya is a beautiful city. Thank you for watching us 😊
Thank you for an amazing informative video
Thank you for watching us. We appreciate the great compliments.
Congrats on applying for Turkish retirement! Interesting interview. I am currently in the process of applying for a Philippine retirement visa. I considered Turkey for retirement after spending 2 months there last summer but decided on the tropics instead.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
Good and crucial interview.
Disappointed with Bulgaria and Ukraine current rules woth passes and tests.
Turkey seems like best option left in Europe.
Thanks for your input, and thanks for watching 😁
Yes indeed your videos are excellent. I have learned so much-thank you. I plan to come myself (w/o my wife) next month and scope out a place to live. I would then fly back to Ukraine pack up my wife/cat and belongings and drive all the way back in our car. I will definitely be using the nice lady Selma to help me. My goal is to rent there for up to a year while looking for a good place to buy. I am a retired expat American married to a Ukrainian lady who has a EU passport via Prague (where we met). I visited Marmaris last summer with my wife and we absolutely loved it. I am a sailing enthusiast so the Med/Aegean is perfect. I also will be contacting those nice young real estate guys that showed us several lovely properties for sale.
Excellent! So glad we were able to provide you with the information you needed. 😁
How exciting! I guess you both have fallen in love. Will you be renting or buying a place and where have you decided? If all of this is coming in a new video, I'll wait for it. So happy to have more videos to come. Congrats.
We are still traveling, and this allows us to spend more time exploring Turkey without time restrictions. In this crazy world it’s comforting to know we can hunker down somewhere over 90 days if needed.
@@WarrenJulieTravel What kind of visas do you have?
Excellent performance
👍☺️
Thanks for sharing it is very in very informative for me and I I will ask her to help me once I get there and Aloha from Hilo Hi.
Aloha! Thanks for watching 😁
Howdy from South Africa! Very good info, thanks. Are you guys planning to come to South Africa too?
Traveling with our pups is too difficult, so for now we will be focusing on Europe 😊
I’ve come across your videos in the last month or so and I must confess,I LOVE THEM.
I appreciate the way you approach the subject matter in question. The questions are asked in a very simply understood manner and so are the answers. End result “ Priceless Information “ and we all thank you for that.
I have a question for you. I am 76 years old and contemplating a move to the Turkish Riviera on my own. I am reasonably healthy at present, however,I don’t know for how long.
I understand that Turkey hasn’t got Senior Living Resorts as some wester countries have.
I am led to believe that it’s the family role to look after the elderlies when they can no longer look after themselves. What would happen if I decide to live in Turkey and need help in my old age on,let’s say daily basis,what would be my options? I wonder if there is a simple solution !
Looking forward to your comment.
Hi …Turkey does have retirement homes actually. I’ve heard of really nice ones in Istanbul, where they provide everything and take the residents out on day trips. It’s really up to your budget regarding how nice of an establishment you wish to live in. They work much like the US. If you prefer to stay in your own home, there are expat Turks from Uzbekistan etc. who mainly work in the home care field through agencies. They live in your home and do everything for you. I’ve had two friends who employed such women. They’re generally very good, and reliable. They were paying them I think 4,000 TL per month. As far as the south of Turkey, you would have inquire further but, I’m sure they have retirement facilities there as well.. I hope this helped.
Looks like you got a great answer 😁 I was assuming there were people and companies ready to support home care.
Thanks for all you guys do in sharing these videos! it is a great help for Expats and anyone looking to embrace the life of a digital nomad! How did you submit a rental/lease agreement on your visa application?
We rented a very inexpensive place. It worked out for the best since we had to leave.
I'd like to believe Salma is very knowledgable and competent on this subject, just her confidence doesn't readily radiate to fill the room, to capture the audience or to warm my heart. This is the nicest way I can find to say my impression of this episode!
I can understand your comment. However understanding she speaks several languages, I think there is a language translation process in forming her answers. Thanks for watching.
@@WarrenJulieTravel She did an admiral job.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Turkish people are renowned for their amazing language abilities. It seems average Turkish knows 6 languages well and understands half a dozen others :)
Given that Salma has been working with foreign clients on daily basis for decades and most likely in English, her case is far from clear. maybe she comes to herself off camera? 🙄Anyway it's nice to know of her/her services.
Thanks for sharing your findings with us
Was the residency for two years? Thank you for asking regarding different passports. certain passports are difficult to travel with especially when you mentioned Cambodian. The information has really opened up alternative travel options, in particular, Europe thank you.
We started with a one year option, the cost was our total for both of us.
I love you guys. I just watched your videos 3 days ago, and you really hit the spot that I was missing watching other videos from turkey. My husband and I are going to do the same because Turkey is a very open and loving country, plus the value for your money is priceless. Thank you again. I don't feel like we are alone in this process of retiring in Turkey.
Great info, for the insurance , what's the cost for people 70 and over ?
Please reach out to Selma for specifics on the State programs.
Thanks for a very good detailed info on T residency. The price chart for private health insurance only shows up to 64 yrs age. Does that mean 65 and above typical Social security retiree wont be able to buy private health unsurance?
There is a state program that is available, but pre existing might be a concern. Fortunately most care is very inexpensive. Write Selma for more specifics.
My understanding is that you will have high taxes here including on retirement income, no US tax treaty? If you are there 6mo or more. Is this your experience? Great videos and info!
We need to speak with an attorney for this information. We hope to get valuable insight this autumn when we return.
✋
☺️
Great Video! Does the Turkish residency allow me to move my internet business there and pay taxes in Turkey?
Contact Selma for the appropriate visa.
@@WarrenJulieTravel will do thank you ☺️
I’m Turkish citizen and US citizen living in Newyork for 33 years now.
My wife she’s American,It’s impossible to retire in the US. It’s super expensive. We are thinking about going to Turkey, probably southern part of the country.
I absolutely love Turkey. The coast is stunning, and Istanbul is a chaotic but fun city! The heat of the summer is quite intense. Our friends just reported 104*
@@WarrenJulieTravel you are living permanently in Turkey now?
I’m planning to go back for retirement if I can convince my wife, she’s American.
I work like an animal here can’t afford retirement.
I appreciate your videos very informative. My question is as a US citizen living on social security will I have to pay taxes to Turkey? Could you make a video would help a lot of people. Thank you
Not to our knowledge, typically you’re only taxed as a resident on income earned in Turkey, not from abroad, which would require a Turkey work permit.
we live in turkey retired from usa, turkey dose not tax social secyrity from usa but all other income you will be taxed on
What I always have trouble finding information on is how everyone that gets a short term tourist visa is able to find a proof of residence? If your visa is not accepted will you be screwed and have to pay the contract even though you don’t live there ? How did y’all go about finding this? Thank you.
You need a clause allowing you out of the contract if not approved.
Great topic. thank you
I am curently applying for tourist residency and the rules have changed recently . they ask for à travel plan. what kind of document is this? like à spécial one or you justwrite down what your travel plan is?
Hi Andra, I am curious if you found out the answer to this question? I am about to apply for tourist residency myself and I have heard this mentioned by a few other people, too.
We were told it's a simple document showing an itinerary. We have not yet had to deal with this.
Did you guys get a two year residency for that price you paid ? if so, did you have to sign a 2 year lease agreement. This info would be helpful as i am looking at possibility of applying for a 2 year.
We did just a one year. We plan on traveling still so we are test driving the program.
Ok, ok, but I'm only going for the coffee and Turkish eggs.
Both are delicious!
How many days in the year would you need to live in turkey to qualify for renewal of property residence permit? Thanks! :)
We plan to do an updated residency video soon. There have been numerous changes to the laws but last we knew it was two months in a 2-year period. A few people have told us the new residencies are being issued for 6 months at a time.
Do you have any introduction about the process or procedure , for purchasing property more than 250k US$ to gain citizenship. thank you
We have not yet looked into this program. We are familiar with it, but have not done a video on it.
Was Selma's fee included in the total cost that you showed?
Yes.
Once you get your Turkish residency do you need to submit an annual Turkish income tax return?
Not unless you’re working in Turkey.
In turkey , residency permit and work permit is different things
@@WarrenJulieTravel So no need to submit annual tax return delaring worldwide income/assets?
You are not allowed to work in Turkey, with just the residency permit.
For property visa, how often does the residency have to be renewed if you still continue to own the property?
Yearly or every two years if you we were issued the 2 year residency permit.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Thanks for your reply and for wonderful videos. The turkish government closed 1169 regions for property residency visa. What are the chances of not being able to renew residency regions closing in the near future. Risky business, isn't it?
@@dashadancing we are currently in Turkiye, we have some Hungary videos coming and then several in Bulgaria. We will be doing an update, we should have it up in 6 to 8 weeks.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Awesome! Thanks! Stay safe and Best of luck!
@@WarrenJulieTravel Awaiting your great videos! Stay safe! Blessings
Hey. Tried the email address to Selma and undeliverable. Any options? The website works but it is all in Turkish and I’m unable to translate.
Try this email, maybe there’s a type error selma@mertselsigorta.com let me know if it worked
@@WarrenJulieTravel I don't think it is the correct address. The name Selma is not in blue indicating that it might not be the correct address and if I click on that it takes me to a website in America, even though with a lot of Turkish words as well.
On this video, I'm not going give you a high score. Because, it was full of half information and miscommunication. I think it's because that lady wasn't well prepared. Overall, this video left me with a lot of questions and ambiguities. Sorry about this. But, this is my honest impression.
I think part of the problem is, it’s not very complicated and we are use to things being complicated. Please mention your unanswered questions. We applied and all they took from us was the forms Selma completed, proof of medical insurance, we showed the rates for that, our passports, our E-Visa used to enter Turkey biometric photos, and a notarized rental agreement, Nothing else was asked for, we also were fingerprinted. We did not show financials, background check or a marriage license. It was very simple, the simplest we’ve yet to hear of and part of the reason we applied. We gave our total cost for both of us combined as well excluding a rental contract. You can watch our other videos on those types of costs. You can get a place for $100 a month for a simple small location.
I think the video gives a good basic view of the process. No 20 minutes video could give you all the details. Salma did a nice job and spoke better English than I speak turkish. Besides she has to earn a living and is not going to tell all in an internet video. However, her charges are nominal and she is very helpful. The fact that this couple decided to file with her says it all.
Great video and very useful info. Thank you both and Salma abla for her time.
If you seriously looking information that video conversation just show to short way how you gonna start.. details your business😉
@@WarrenJulieTravel There you go. I think that answers many residency questions for us. Thanks
From South America to Turkey. If U could choose where would U move?
There are different answers for everyone, so please choose based on your likes. We like a lot of countries, but based on this question we’d choose Turkey. While we enjoyed our Ecuadorian experience, we were living with many restrictions, masks, and lock downs. We have been free in Turkey to experience everything unencumbered.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Was Turkey freer throughout the pandemic or just more recently? Do you happen to know if they were masking kids in school?
@@laurayale369 they were more restricted in the past, and kids in schools wore masks. In general about 25% of the population still wear masks outside by choice. Most do not unless in the mall, bank, grocery, public transportation or hospital. We literally only put a mask on for our grocery visits. In Ecuador you had to mask up as soon as you left your home when we were there. So I want
to make sure I mentioned this. Our time since January 2021 we’ve been in mostly free countries living fairly normal. It was a feeling of freedom and euphoria when we arrived in Serbia last year. We’ve chosen to focus our travel in less restrictive locations ever since, and why we have avoided the EU so far. Hope this makes sense, but we still loved Ecuador that didn’t change.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Interesting. Good to hear you have lived relatively freely for the past year. I chose a decade ago to live in a free county in the US and we have lived mostly unmasked since June 2020. And, of course, have seen no more than an average effect of Covid on our population (actually I think our numbers are much lower than most other locations),
Did your marriage certificate need to have an apostille?
No, it was never asked for.
they say price will double up by 2023 will cost 500K
You’re speaking of citizenship to be clear, not residency.
citizenship can be obtained with purchasing a property for $400,000 us dollars 2022
I believe it's a $250k investment to obtain CBI.
250.000 dollars and you can get the Turkish citizenship unbelievable I think that’s to cheap
I am hearing that the tourist residency is only being issued for 6 months. Can anyone claify this ?
Not true. Not sure where you heard that. It’s one or two year options.
Yes, I also read about a day after this video came out that they've changed the rules to avoid the problem of illegal employment. It's now down to six months for the tourist residency.
Can you apply for a tourist residency from your own country?
@@margamassmann9696 From what i understand the Touristic resident permit is an extension of your tourist visa. So you will have to be there on a tourist visa to apply for this permit.
Turkey is really a great place to live but the local people only speak in Turkish.
We actually found the Turkish people spoke quite a bit of English especially in the larger cities.
Could you please confirm , if you have a 1 or 2 years Legal Residency visa, you still don't pay taxes to Turkey , for World wide income including Retirement Pensions one may have, if one live more than 183 days i a year
What follows is from "Worldwide Tax Summaries" which says one must pay Turkish taxes if stayed more than 185 days!!!
" Turkey
Individual - Residence
Last reviewed - 21 February 2022
Residents are persons whose legal residences are in Turkey or who intend to settle in the country. Persons with uncertain residence status are considered to be resident if they have lived in Turkey uninterruptedly for more than six months in one calendar year.
Residents are treated as full taxpayers. Individuals whose legal residence is not in Turkey or who do not reside in Turkey for more than six months in a calendar year are treated as limited taxpayers. In general, those who stay in Turkey for more than six continuous months exclusively for the fulfilment of specific and temporary assignments are not considered as resident, and they will still be treated as limited taxpayers.
Foreign individuals who have to remain in Turkey for more than six months due to force majeure (e.g. illness, arrest) would still be considered as non-resident in Turkey."
pleaseplease
Our understanding is if you live more than six months a year in Turkey you are subject to worldwide taxation. We suggest you reach out to a CPA if you have further questions. 😊
@@WarrenJulieTravel
Thanks.
So making one residence past 185 days in Turkey, can be pretty expensive !
Government schools are really poor currently, I wouldn’t suggest it.
Thanks for the input
