I’ve been researching the idea of becoming a digital nomad in Turkey, and honestly, it almost sounds too good to be true. Here’s what I found:

  • Apparently, a rental contract is all you need to get a residence permit.

  • It seems that having over $500 in your bank account for each month of your stay in Turkey is sufficient as proof of income.

  • And if you’re staying for less than six months, you don’t have to pay any taxes.

Is all of this accurate? It seems a bit too easy – am I missing something?

    it used to be easy and now it’s not – most people have gotten rejected in the last year. you can apply for a student visa though and that’s pretty much guaranteed
