Services Offered

Four ways we help you land on your feet.

Come to us for one of them or all four — it's the same team and the same file, so you never explain your situation twice.

Education Support

A shortlist you can afford, and a file that gets read.

Most rejections are paperwork problems, not ability problems. We match students to programmes by grades, budget, city and language of instruction, then prepare the application properly and follow it through to enrolment.

  • University and private school placement
  • Programme shortlist with real fee comparisons
  • Document prep, translation and notarisation
  • Scholarship, YÖS and language-prep routes
  • Student visa file and equivalency (denklik)
  • Enrolment, dorms and student housing

Tourism Support

Travel planned around why you're actually coming.

A holiday, a family visit, a medical trip, or a first look at the country before you commit to living here. We plan the route, book the pieces, and stay reachable while you're on the ground.

  • Custom itineraries across Türkiye
  • İstanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Bursa, Trabzon
  • Licensed guides and private transfers
  • Hotels, villas and family-friendly stays
  • Medical and wellness travel coordination
  • Visa support documents and travel insurance

Real Estate & Investment

We check the deed before you fall in love with the balcony.

Buying here is straightforward once the paperwork is verified. We work for the buyer: we look at the title, the debts and the valuation first, and tell you plainly when a property isn't worth what's being asked.

  • Property search matched to your purpose
  • Viewing trips arranged around your visit
  • Title (tapu) and encumbrance checks
  • Official valuation and price benchmarking
  • Contract review, notary and deed transfer
  • Citizenship-by-investment guidance
  • Rental management and resale support

Relocation & Settlement Guidance

The queues, the forms and the appointments — handled.

The part nobody warns you about. We prepare the applications, book the appointments, come with you when you need someone who speaks Turkish, and keep track of your renewal dates afterwards.

  • Residence permit (ikamet) files and renewals
  • Tax number, bank account, health insurance
  • Address registration and utilities
  • School places for children
  • Rental search and contract checks
  • Driving licence exchange
  • Sworn translation, notary, power of attorney
  • Neighbourhood advice and settling-in help
How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

You'll know the cost, the documents and the timeline before you commit to anything.

1

Tell us your plan

Message us on WhatsApp and tell us what you're trying to do. We'll ask a few questions and tell you honestly whether it's realistic, what it takes and how long it usually runs.

2

Get it in writing

A clear plan: what we'll do, the documents we need from you, our fee, and the official costs paid at their real amount. Nothing starts until you're happy with it.

3

We handle it with you

One person stays on your case from start to finish. We book the appointments, chase the offices, and keep you updated — in your language, at every stage.

Why MyTurkBuddy

A buddy on the ground, not a call centre abroad.

Arriving somewhere new is mostly a series of small problems — a form in a language you don't read, an office that closed at three, a landlord who wants documents you've never heard of. We're here for exactly those, and we don't disappear once the invoice is paid.

Trusted SupportOne named contact who knows your case, from the first message to the last signature.

Local ExpertiseWe're in Türkiye, dealing with these offices, schools and agencies every week.

Practical GuidanceStraight answers about cost and timing, including when the answer is "wait" or "don't".

Peace of MindYour documents tracked, your deadlines watched, and someone to call when something changes.

Questions

Asked before you ask.

Do I pay for the first conversation?

No. Tell us what you're planning and we'll give you an honest read on whether it works, roughly what it costs and how long it takes — whether or not you go ahead with us.

Can you start before I arrive in Türkiye?

Yes. University applications, property searches and most preparation happen entirely remotely. A few steps — the title deed transfer and certain permit appointments — need either you here in person or a notarised power of attorney, which can be arranged at a Turkish consulate in your country.

Do you guarantee admission, a permit or citizenship?

No, and we'd be careful with anyone who does. Universities and government offices make those decisions. What we control is a complete, correct, on-time file — which is where most refusals actually come from.

What does it cost?

It depends on the service and how much of it you want handled. We quote a clear fee in writing before starting. Official costs — government fees, notary, translation, taxes — are separate and paid at their real amount, with receipts.

How much do I need to invest for citizenship through property?

There's a minimum property value set by the government, and the rules around it change from time to time. We confirm the current threshold and the exact conditions in writing before you commit any money.

Can you help if I only need one small thing?

Of course. Plenty of people come to us just for a residence permit renewal, one week of travel, or a second opinion on a contract. There's no package you have to buy into.

How quickly do you reply?

WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us and usually gets an answer the same day. Email works too if you'd rather send documents and details in one go.
