The impact of artificial intelligence on the °Õü°ù°ì¾±²â±ð job market by Cheryl
Hello everyone, Artificial intelligence is driving major changes to the job market in °Õü°ù°ì¾±²â±ð : task automation, evolving job roles and rise of new skills. For expats and soon-to-be expats, this transformation may raise some key questions on ...

Dr mithat topal by FatmaMerve
i wanted to ask if any of you tried dr mithat topal in Istanbul baskshehir and what are your experiences like, do you recommend or not. Im thinking of getting my nose done and would like natural yet functional results.

Ikamet extentions
It seems to be limited data available on Ikamet. I found an interesting site, which you probably already know https://en.goc.gov.tr/residence-permits, but no details can be found how many requests for extention have been accepted or rejected, by ... Read More

@JimJ Since three years there is a dip in Alanya/Mahmutlar, driven by cost, residency permit and closed districts. Also the relationship with Russia is also less than a few years ago. I hope the bubble will grow again. Neverhteless we bought at the ... Read More

Hello everyone, Customer service can say a lot about everyday life in °Õü°ù°ì¾±²â±ð, and for many expats, it’s something that could take time to get used to. In order to help expats and soon-to-be expats to adjust to local expectations, we invite ...
