Don't know if I'm posting on the correct forum, but I'm hoping to move out to Calis/Fethye soon, and need advice. ie jobs, renting etc. If anyone can help or point me in right place I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi cef,
The names Christine. Been coming to turkey for fab holiday's for 2 years now. Fell in love with the place, and it feels like home. Unfortunatly not enough income to retire, so in need of advice. I want to test the reality before comitting to the dream and buying.

Hi winks  ;) Welcome to the forum.  There are lots of threads already on here, relating to living/working in Turkey, I'm sure that you'll get lots of help, but you could try starting with the 'search' facility  :)

Might help a bit if you say what you can/want to do work-wise  :)

Good luck, happy landings  :) 8)

If you're thinking of coming out here to work, the reality is, forget it !

Cef,
Thanks, will do on the search, I am an estate agent at the moment, and have run pubs, but I'm happy to try anything.

Hi Christine, what they dont seem to be bothered to actually say is that it is nigh on impossible to obtain a work permit and thats why you couldnt officially work. As you will be aware, Turkey is not in the EU so it's not like Spain etc and they wont grant work permits to  foreigners if a Turkish person can perform the job.Thats my understanding of it anyway. If you were to work illegally and found out, you would be deported immediately and I dont think your'e allowed back in for a few years.

Please correct me if I'm wrong and give Christine the correct info. :)
