The grass is always greener on the other side!聽 I would not like to live in America.聽 I came from the UK to Turkey. Yes Turkey has some problems, but everywhere has. To me, at the moment, Turkey is paradise.聽 America (or indeed England) is not the "land of milk and honey".

If you can buy a house it will be easier to get permit.

A lot of people think they can come to Turkey and get a job in a restaurant. This is not necessarily true. The general rule is that you cannot get a work permit to do a job that an unemployed Turk can do. The exception is if the company you want to work for has already employed five Turkish citizens.
