Moving to Turkey
When you move to Turkey, you want to move your belongings with you. You can choose to use your own moving container or a shared container (groupage) so that you share the costs with others. At Transpack we offer both sea containers and air containers for international moves.
The cost of moving to Turkey
For small to medium-sized household effects to Turkey, road transport is used. Transpack has a permanent partner for removals to and from Turkey, which means they are regularly at the warehouse to collect shipments. For larger shipments (>20m3), it is often advisable to move by sea container from a financial point of view. Together with an employee of Transpack, you can look at the most cost-efficient way of transporting your household effects.

How long will it take for my belongings to travel to Turkey?
How long your belongings are on their way to Turkey depends on the type of transport you choose to send your belongings. If you choose road transport, your belongings will be on their way from house to house for an average of two to three weeks. If you choose to move by sea container, it will generally take 4 to 5 weeks, unless there is a customs inspection, because that can quickly take a bit longer.

To help you prepare for your trip, we have listed a number of tips for you. Be careful not to send documents, keys, medicines, jewelry and other important items in sea and/or air freight.
| Clothing
| It is important to bring appropriate clothing to Turkey. The climate in Turkey varies from very hot summers with high humidity in Istanbul to cold, wet winters. In Ankara, summers are also hot, but dry and with cooler evenings. On the Mediterranean coast, summers are warm and winters mild. |
| Travel plug | The mains voltage in Turkey is about 220 Volts and the frequency is 50 Hertz. You need a (world) adapter plug if you bring electrical appliances. |
| Medicines | Check if your medication is available in Turkey and what the maximum amount is that you are allowed to take with you. Also check if you need a medical certificate to take medication with you on your trip. |
| Documents | Take important documents such as passport, visa documents etc. in your hand luggage – also make copies. |
| Personal belongings | Think of your favorite toiletries, items that remind you of home, and other things you can’t do without when traveling. Tip: pack an extra set of clothes in your carry-on in case your checked baggage is delayed or lost. |
