Hi,
Thanks for all your comments. It is my intention to move to Turkey & marry my fiance who is Turkish, he has spent nearly the last 2 years here in the UK & we have decided we dont want to stay here.
I also have a friend who is also looking to move to Turkey however since writing my original question it seems likely that I will be moving much sooner than she.
Having an income is not essential but would make all the difference to our standard of living. Also whilst being dependent on 'the family' is not unusual in Turkey it is not what I am used to as someone who has always worked full time in the UK.
Because of the reasons many people have mentioned I am looking for ideas as to what I could do. I am aware of the legal requirements.
Starting a business from scratch is not something I want to attempt at this early stage So looking to work with somebody already established or maybe lease an existing business from someone who can no longer or doesnt want to run it seems like a good idea.
Thanks for all your advice, I do appreciate every ones comments as I realise reponces are from people wanting to help me avoid their mistakes & those they have witnessed others making. I certainly dont want to learn the hard way.
Many Thanks
