Also, luxurious real estate prices are quite affordable in Turkey.

Foreigners, who decide to live in Turkey, are required to obtain a work or residence permit after 90 days visa. (A foreigner with a residence permit must obtain a work permit to work in Turkey. The residence permit cannot be used for a work permit.) One of the easiest ways to get a residence permit in Turkey is to buy real estate.
