Can I work in Turkey if I buy a property there?

Unfortunately, buying a property in Turkey does not give you the right to work legally in this country. However, there are a couple of options how to do this:

1. get a work permit or work visa. To apply for this type of visa, you need first find a job. After that, your employer provides you with the required papers, which you submit to the Ambassy. As a rule, a work visa is valid for one year.

2. Launch a business in Turkey. It gives a business owner or co-owner a right to work in Turkey legally. If you run your company for a long period and pay the social insurance, you can get a Turkish pension. However, you will need to get Turkish citizenship to get a pension. To do this, you will need to live in Turkey for at least five years.
