This is where Health Insurance steps in, so that one can have access to the best healthcare without fearing the financial strain. Guaranteeing you and your loved ones, the peace of mind everyone deserves.
Buying a Car In Turkey
Purchasing a car in Turkey like anywhere can be a tricky thing and there are few things to consider. Unlike most European countries the first thing that will surprise you is the cost of cars in Turkey. Due to the tax levy imposed on foreign cars “which all of them are as the new Turkish made car is not due for release for at least a year” you can expect to pay over double for a vehicle.
Car Rental And Leasing
Istanbul is probably one of the most heavily populated cities in the world and the traffic certainly reflects that! During the pandemic the number of car owners shot up two fold. Now if you are thinking of buying a car in this country you will be shocked to discover that the prices of automobiles can be two to three times more than in European countries, due to the huge export levy’s placed on them.
Driving License in Turkey
When you arrive in Turkey with your international driving license you are permitted to drive for up to one year. After this year has passed (and if you wish to continue using the same license), you have to leave the country and once your passport shows that you have re-entered you will be permitted to carry on using your license.
İstanbul For Si̇ghtseei̇ng
If you're planning to see Istanbul's top tourist attractions, the easiest place to base yourself is Sultanahmet, Istanbul's Old City, which is a short stroll from all the city's major historic attractions. The Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the Aya Sofya are all within a five-minute walk, and many hotels in the area have stellar views of these buildings, as well as out to the Bosphorus from their rooftop terraces.
Public Transport
Foreigners living in Istanbul must obtain an akbil (istanbul card) in order to use public transportation and travel within the city. So where can foreigners get their Istanbul card?
