Possible move soon
I am new to the Turkey section. I am thinking of relocating from the Philippines to Turkey, particularly the West coast around Antalya or Alanya area. I am 62 years old with investments that pay my way until I get my Norwegian pension in 5 years time. I have a few questions
1. What is the best type/way of acquiring a visa to stay in Turkey
2. Can Brits own a flat/apartment
3. What could my monthly expenditure expected to be excluding a car.
4. Best bank account to get to ease transfers from the UK
I will of course think of more as soon as I hit "Submit", but any help with the above would be a great help
