Im a new member, we moved out in May with our nearly 9 year old. Yes your boy will have to learn Turkish but for children it comes much easier for them than us adults. I personally think you have to be positive and get stuck in with the new way of life, living somewhere different is never easy!

Im a student nurse at Stirling University i finish my course next December and my plan is to get a job in ESTNF hospital in Fethiye.What i have read thanks to you guys, it does seem complicated but i will follow all advise. I will probably rent somewhere first then depending on how the income goes buy! Do you need to come into the country with a certain amount of cash?
