Choosing the right support.
These answers explain what the services cover and where decisions are made.
Which service should I choose if I have several questions?
Tell us about the main parts of your move. You can ask about residence procedures, work permit processes and everyday settling-in tasks in the same initial conversation. We will discuss the scope relevant to your situation.
Can I contact you before moving to Antalya?
Yes. Tell us where you are now, when you hope to arrive and what you need help understanding. You can begin with a brief message.
Do you guarantee a residence or work permit?
No. The relevant Turkish authorities assess applications and make decisions. Our support focuses on practical information, organisation and communication within an agreed scope.
Can you review my rental agreement or give legal advice?
We can help organise practical questions and communication about renting. A legal review of a contract, legal advice or representation requires a qualified lawyer.

No. We can help you prepare questions for a bank or authorised insurance provider. Each provider determines its own requirements and whether it will supply a service.
Where can I check official information?
For residence permit procedures, visit the official e-İkamet portal. For work permits, consult the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. For Antalya water subscriptions, start with ASAT. Confirm current requirements directly with the responsible organisation.
