A clearer way to begin life in Antalya.
Move to Antalya is an English-language relocation support service for international newcomers. We help you understand practical processes, organise questions and approach the details of moving with greater clarity.
Antalya · Türkiye
Because a move involves more than arriving.
When you move to a new country, a simple question can lead to several others. Where do you check the current requirements? Which part of the process involves an employer or service provider? What should you ask before signing a rental agreement?
These tasks are harder to navigate when the information, appointments and everyday conversations happen in an unfamiliar language. Move to Antalya was created to give international newcomers a clearer starting point for the practical side of moving to Antalya.
Our role is to help you find the right information, organise what needs attention and know when a question belongs with an official authority, provider or qualified professional.
Clarity, context and practical next steps.
Our aim is to make the early stages of a move feel more manageable, one relevant question and task at a time.
Understand what to check
Start with information relevant to your situation and confirm current requirements with the organisation responsible for them.
Put tasks in a useful order
Separate what is already clear from what still needs an answer, then focus on the practical steps that matter to your move.
Ask better questions
Discuss practical matters in English and prepare questions for authorities, employers, property contacts and service providers.
Support across the practical parts of your move.
Some people contact us before arriving. Others have already found a home or started discussing work in Antalya. We discuss the support relevant to your circumstances.

Explore settling-in supportYour situation comes before a checklist.
Two people moving to Antalya may need different information. We begin with your plans, identify the practical questions and agree on the scope of support before moving forward.
Tell us where you are
Are you still planning from abroad, talking to an employer or already arranging life in Antalya? A short explanation is enough to begin.
Identify the questions that matter
We help distinguish practical tasks from questions that require an answer from an authority, service provider or qualified professional.
Agree on what support covers
We explain which organisational or communication tasks we can help with before work begins.
Move forward with clearer steps
Work through the agreed practical tasks while checking current requirements with the relevant official source or provider.
Local context makes practical planning easier.
Antalya is more than the place you arrive. The area where you live, your daily journeys, the property you choose and the services available at your address all shape the first weeks of your move.
Move to Antalya is based in Pınarbaşı, Konyaaltı. Our local focus helps us ask useful practical questions about the life you are planning here, while directing official requirements back to the organisations that set them.
Clear support includes clear limits.
We want you to understand both the help available and who is responsible for the final answer or decision.
Practical guidance and coordination
We help you locate relevant official information, organise questions, prepare for conversations and understand the practical steps involved in settling in Antalya.
With the responsible organisation
Public authorities decide permit applications. Employers fulfil their own obligations. Banks, insurers and utility providers determine their requirements and whether they can provide a service.
Legal questions need a lawyer
Legal advice, legal review of contracts and representation require a qualified lawyer. We identify when a practical question appears to need specialist attention.
A short message is enough
Tell us when you expect to move and which part feels unclear. You do not need to send sensitive documents in your first WhatsApp or email enquiry.
