Typical max stay
12 months
Türkiye launched its Digital Nomad Visa in April 2024 — 12-month residency for remote workers with USD ~36,000/year income proof. Renewable. Standard 90-day visa-free entry remains available for many western passports (US, UK, EU under bilateral arrangements). Application via Turkish embassies abroad or in-country residence permit conversion.
Editorial summary, not legal advice. Verify with the relevant consulate before applying — visa programs change with little notice.
Worth knowing: Haggling expected at bazaars and tourist markets — start at 30-40% of asking price.
Editorial summary — norms vary by region within each country and shift over time. Read the local mood.
Yemeksepeti
Yemeksepeti (Delivery Hero-owned) is the local default; Uber Eats has a small Istanbul presence.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Uber
Uber operates as Uber Taxi (licensed drivers only) in major Turkish cities. BiTaksi and iTaksi are the dominant local Turkish-language alternatives.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
