Can an American citizen work and live in Turkey?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Yes, if you have followed the proper protocol to do so. Check with the State Department website to find what you need to do this, and you need to check with the Consulate for Turkey to see what they require to allow you to reside and work in their country.

You can get a work Visa in the Country of Turkey. You will probably end up getting hit with taxes from both countries so you should weigh out the pros and cons first.
