Bank, podatki i koszty w Turcji
A stable life in Turkey requires control of tax number, bank account, bills, insurance and currency risk.
Tax number and bank account
A Turkish tax number is often needed for banking, property, utilities and official procedures. Bank requirements may vary, so prepare passport, address details, phone number and documentation of funds.
- Get a tax number early.
- Ask the bank which documents it accepts.
- Keep copies of all bank forms and receipts.
Regular costs
Budget for electricity, water, internet, site fees, DASK earthquake insurance, home insurance, maintenance, transport, healthcare and possible adviser fees. Costs vary by city, season and property type.
- Do not budget only for rent or purchase price.
- Include insurance and maintenance.

Income may be in NOK, EUR, GBP or another currency while expenses are in TRY. Exchange-rate movements and transfer fees can change your real budget.

- Compare bank fees and exchange rates.
- Keep extra margin for currency changes.
Tax and documentation
Tax questions can depend on residence status, income, property ownership and your home country. Keep contracts, receipts, bank records and official documents organised.
