A spoonful of tar: let's talk about the disadvantages of moving to permanent residence

To move to the country of your dreams - it's great. At the same time, it is important to take a balanced approach to the decision and prepare for the fact that the first time it will be difficult to get used to the new conditions and environment. The issue of moving to Turkey is not without disadvantages.

Language barrier. Knowledge of the state language is not only about understanding each other. This is a guarantee of comfortable assimilation and life in the country. So, without knowledge of the Turkish language, you can face difficulties (especially if you are traveling to small towns, where not everyone speaks English). Not everyone copes with such an obstacle and returns home after a while.

It can be hot. Foreigners who lived in northern countries before moving to Turkey may feel uncomfortable at first, because in summer the temperature in some regions exceeds +30°C.

Culture. Most Europeans can not perceive some traditions of Turks, and consider them wrong. Cultural contradictions are a disadvantage of migration.

Wanting to go home. Not every person is able to throw away his former life, leave his relatives and friends, his home and radically change everything by moving to another country. It happens that it is difficult to start with a clean slate, so not everyone can pass such a test and come back. Homesickness is one of the reasons why people give up. Traveling and moving to Turkey are different things and one should be prepared for that.

These disadvantages cannot outweigh the advantages of migration.
