## What is SettleIn Türkiye?

ettle in Türkiye like you know someone here.

Built by a 35-year Istanbul native, SettleIn is the honest companion for foreigners in Türkiye — whether you landed last week or you've been here for years.

ASK ANYTHING, GET A REAL ANSWER
Instant AI answers on residence permits, banking, phones, daily life — grounded in verified, dated rules, not forum hearsay. Free to try, no account needed.

FIND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Compare 20 Istanbul areas and the Antalya–Bodrum coast on one interactive map: rent levels, foreign-resident density, safety, metro and ferry access. Take the 2-minute quiz and shortlist before you sign a lease.

UNDERSTAND ANY TURKISH DOCUMENT
Scan a contract, bill or official letter — get a translation and a plain-English explanation of what it actually means for you.

NEVER MISS WHAT'S ON
Concerts, exhibitions, workshops and nightlife across Istanbul — updated daily, all in English.

A SOCIAL HOME FOR FOREIGNERS
Ask questions, share what you've learned, message other members. Small on purpose, honest by rule — no fake activity, ever.

KNOW THE TRAPS BEFORE THEY COST YOU
The 54,258 TL IMEI phone fee. The 120-day clock. Taxi overcharging. Deposit scams. We document every trap with sources — and keep it current.

PLAN YOUR MONEY
5 calculators: cost of living, overstay fines, tax residency, citizenship by investment and more — with 2026 numbers.

THE HONEST PART
Most of SettleIn is free. SettleIn Pro ($4.99/month or $39.99/year) unlocks the full Istanbul guide (118 hand-picked places), unlimited AI chat and scans, and insider tips. No ads, no data selling — we only make money when Pro genuinely helps you.

Rules in Türkiye change without notice. Every fact in this app carries a date and a source, checked against the Resmî Gazete and official pages — most recently in August 2026.

Hoş geldin. Welcome home.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-04

Every number, re-checked.

• We went through every fee and figure against the official sources — and fixed the ones that had drifted, including the 2026 permit fee ($25 first month + $5/month for most nationalities) and the new 9,376 TL single-entry visa fee.
• Ten nationalities pay NO permit fee at all — the calculator now knows, and says so.
• Over 65? Health insurance isn't required for your permit. The calculator now tells you instead of quietly charging you for it.
• The renewal risk check understands students now: scholarships, dorms and GSS, not the tourist income bar.
• Save any guide for later — your reading list lives at the tap of a star.
• Push notifications got a fix and a "send a test to my phone" button in Settings.
• Fresh look for the listing: new screenshots, same honest app.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-27

Smoother maps and navigation, community notifications (DMs, likes, follows), bug fixes across calculators — and we now ask for a rating only after the app has actually helped you.

### 1.3 — 2026-04-29

Small improvements to help you find SettleIn more easily. No new features in this update — the app works exactly as before.

### 1.2 — 2026-04-20

"Thank you for the review. The Delete Account button is now prominently displayed at the top of the Profile → Settings tab (the default tab when opening the profile). I've attached a screen recording demonstrating the complete account deletion flow.

### 1.1 — 2026-04-08

Added SettleIn Pro subscription with unlimited AI chat, document scanning, smart vault, and full Istanbul guide.
