Employee Relocation to Turkey

Employee relocation to Turkey is a move with an audience of two: the assignee who has to arrive ready to work, and the employer or mobility team who needs it handled cleanly, on budget and without becoming their problem. Seemleius employee relocation to Turkey is built for both — a managed door-to-door service with one coordinator and clear, itemised billing.

We move individual assignees and their families from across the UAE into İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir and the wider country, aligning the household shipment with the residence-permit process so the person lands able to settle in rather than firefight.

A managed service for mobility teams

Whether the move is billed to the employee or the company, the coordination is the same and the paperwork is clean. One coordinator runs the survey, the packing, the sea or air booking, Turkish customs through our broker, and the delivery — and the mobility team gets a single point of contact and an itemised quote, not a scatter of vendor invoices. We work to policy caps and approval chains where they exist, and flag anything that would push a move over budget before it happens.

Built around the assignee

• Household goods packed, shipped and delivered door to door, timed to the start date
• Residence-permit paperwork aligned with the shipment so goods are not stuck in bond
• Sea for the bulk of the home, air for the essentials the assignee needs on day one
• Pets coordinated alongside the household move under Turkey’s import rules
• Family belongings and children’s effects handled with the same care as the executive’s

Timing the permit and the start date

The residence permit (ikamet) is the pivot of an employee move to Turkey: the used-goods exemption is granted against it, and the goods generally have to arrive within a set window. We schedule the freight against the permit and the assignee’s start date, brief the customs broker before sail, and keep the mobility team updated at the points that matter — booking confirmed, sailed, cleared, delivered — without noise in between.

What is included

How an assignee move runs

1. Brief and survey. We confirm policy, budget and dates, then survey the home and price sea and air.
2. Document. We align the inventory and residence paperwork and brief the broker in Turkey.
3. Ship and clear. The move travels on the booked route with customs handled in parallel.
4. Deliver and report. We deliver and unpack, and close the file with clean documentation for the mobility team.

One assignee or a programme of them, the standard holds. Request your quote and we will build the move around your policy, the permit and the start date.
