Key Milestones
  1. 1 Design the relocation route and confirm the initial conditions

    A personalized route has been established for a citizen of Kazakhstan with business income, a budget of 800–1200, and the intention to relocate as a digital nomad. Critical issues concerning the right to stay, income, and tax status have been identified.

  2. 2 Prepare the documents and obtain confirmation of the basis for stay

    The documents have been collected, reviewed, and prepared for submission; the selected basis for entry and stay has been confirmed through the official process.

  3. 3 Arrange entry and basic accommodation in Turkey

    Entry has been completed on a lawful basis, and temporary accommodation and an initial address strategy are ready.

  4. 4 Complete post-entry registrations, financial matters, and everyday adaptation

    The necessary registration and tax procedures have been completed, and banking payments, communications, medical infrastructure, and daily life have been arranged.

Visa and Residence Permit
  1. 10 Confirm the available grounds for entry and long-term stay

    The applicability of the visa-free regime, digital nomad program, and alternative grounds has been verified, taking into account Kazakhstani citizenship and business income. Only a route whose requirements can realistically be met has been selected.

  2. 11 Submit the application or prepare for entry under the confirmed regime

    The application has been submitted under the selected visa or residence route, or a complete set of steps for lawful visa-free entry has been prepared. The submission confirmation or control checklist has been saved.

  3. 14 Receive the decision on the application and complete the entry-readiness check

    A decision on the application has been received, or the possibility of a visa-free scenario has been documented. The passport, insurance, proof of funds, and other border-crossing requirements have been checked.

  4. 17 Submit post-entry residence permit and address registration applications

    The applicable post-entry steps for obtaining a residence permit, registering the address, and registering in official systems have been completed. Confirmation of submission or scheduled procedures has been obtained.

Documents, Translation, Apostille
  1. 6 Conduct an audit of personal and business documents

    A list of documents required for entry, legalization, banking operations, and proof of business income has been compiled. Documents with limited validity periods and potential gaps have been identified.

  2. 8 Obtain missing documents and prepare a certified set

    The missing certificates and supporting documents have been obtained, translated, and legalized in the required format. An electronic and paper set has been prepared for submissions and everyday procedures.

Budget and Cost of Living
  1. 5 Prepare a relocation budget and monthly financial reserve

    One-time expenses, a monthly limit, and a minimum reserve have been defined, taking into account the budget of 800–1200. Expenses that must be avoided when choosing a city and housing have been recorded.

  2. 21 Recalculate the budget after the initial expenses and housing selection

    Actual expenses have been compared with the 800–1200 limit, and the budget has been adjusted to reflect actual rent, communications, transportation, insurance, and bank fees. The number of months for which the reserve will last has been determined.

Healthcare and Insurance
  1. 7 Choose insurance coverage for entry and stay

    A healthcare coverage option has been selected that matches the chosen basis for stay and personal needs. The policy confirmation and the procedure for seeking medical care have been documented.

  2. 18 Choose local healthcare infrastructure and procedures for seeking care

    Suitable clinics and pharmacies have been found, and the validity of the insurance in the selected city has been verified. The procedures for planned and emergency medical care have been determined.

Housing
  1. 12 Choose a city and arrange temporary housing with a suitable address

    A city has been chosen that fits the budget and working lifestyle, and temporary housing has been booked. The possibility of using the address for subsequent administrative procedures has been verified.

  2. 16 Move in and obtain confirmation of the residential address

    Actual residence at the selected address has been established, and the arrangements with the landlord and the necessary confirmations have been retained. The housing is suitable for work and for completing administrative procedures.

  3. 22 Decide whether to enter into a long-term lease or change housing

    Based on the actual expenses and the experience of temporary residence, a decision has been made: to extend the lease, move to a more affordable option, or change cities. Long-term housing does not exceed the established financial limit.

Banks and Accounts
  1. 20 Set up bank accounts and secure international payments

Taxes and Tax Residency

    It has been determined how taxation in Turkey, the country of citizenship, and the country of actual business activity will relate to one another. Questions for a Turkish tax specialist have been recorded before the move.

  2. 19 Obtain a Tax Identification Number and Set Up a Tax Residency Calendar

    The required tax identification number has been obtained, or the procedure for obtaining it has been confirmed. Tracking of days of stay, sources of income, and reporting obligations has been set up.

    Dates for reviews, document retention, and consultations regarding business income have been established. A reporting calendar has been created, along with controls for the risks of double taxation.

Relocation Logistics

    The volume of luggage, method of transportation, necessary bookings, and a list of essential items are defined. The plan fits the limited budget and a solo relocation.

    A workspace, schedule, basic shopping, and services for independent living have been set up. The relocation no longer depends on temporary solutions and occasional assistance.

Plan “B”

    The conditions under which it is necessary to abandon the current basis for stay, change cities, or return to the country of original residence have been documented. A specific action has been assigned for each trigger.

    A practical contingency plan has been prepared in case of a residence permit refusal, insufficient income, tax restrictions, or exceeding the budget. Contacts of specialists, reserve funds, and a route for lawful departure or changing countries have been prepared.
