01
The story begins before departure
Most mistakes happen before arrival: a neighborhood chosen too quickly, a lease not reviewed carefully, a residence path misunderstood, a school selected too late, a bank approached without a clear file, tax questions asked after the move. We slow the decision down before accelerating execution. We first understand who you are, where you are coming from, why Turkey matters and what standard of life you want to build in Istanbul, Bodrum or Antalya.
- Confidential assessment of profile, family, residence country and timing
- Comparison between Istanbul, Bodrum and Antalya for family life, business, healthcare and mobility
- Identification of administrative, tax, banking and property risks before commitment
- Clear roadmap before discovery trip, lease signature or property purchase
02
A relocation plan, not a checklist
A successful relocation connects subjects that should not be handled separately: residence, housing, tax, company setup, banking, schools, insurance, healthcare, transport, translation, utilities, safety and local network. Bosphoras keeps these decisions aligned so that the client can live, work and decide calmly.
- Residence strategy and coordination with qualified professionals where needed
- Rent-before-buy approach when it better protects the family and capital
- Daily-life opening: tax number, banking, insurance, phone, utilities and essential services
- Family organization: schools, doctors, neighborhoods, drivers, routines and integration
03
What Bosphoras coordinates in practice
Bosphoras does not replace lawyers, tax advisors, banks, doctors or regulated agents. We filter, organize, prepare and coordinate. You keep a clear view of who does what, in which order, with which documents and within which limits.
- Discovery trip preparation and private agenda on the ground
- Neighborhoods, properties, schools, clinics and offices selected according to profile
- Coordination with lawyers, tax advisors, accountants, insurers and banks
- Follow-up of documents, translations, transfers, appointments and next steps

Istanbul, Bodrum or Antalya: choosing the right anchor
Istanbul often fits entrepreneurs, investors and families who need access to banks, private hospitals, lawyers, tax advisors, international schools and business networks. Bodrum is more residential, patrimonial and lifestyle-driven. Antalya can be a rational family base with climate, sea, healthcare and clearer daily-life costs. The right choice depends on real life, not on a picture.
- Istanbul: business, law, tax, private healthcare, schools and international network
- Bodrum: villas, marinas, yachts, seasonality, discretion and Mediterranean living
- Antalya: family life, healthcare, climate, international communities and long-term relocation
05
After arrival, the real service begins
Moving in is not the end. Real questions often start after arrival: a medical appointment, a bank request, a translated document, a reliable driver, a business dinner, a housing issue, insurance or a confidential introduction. Bosphoras can continue through Private Desk support or Bosphoras Private Access for validated members.
- Post-arrival support during the first weeks and months
- Continuous introductions to selected professionals
- Priority handling for member requests through Bosphoras Private Access
- Lifestyle coordination: hotels, drivers, restaurants, clubs, events, wellness and private addresses
