About us
Local knowledge and personal support for life in Antalya.
Antalya Expat Life supports international residents and those planning to settle in Antalya with document preparation, correspondence and the coordination of everyday administrative matters.
We take the time to understand the needs behind each request. Before work begins, we clarify the scope, our responsibilities and the fee. We then follow the agreed steps and keep you informed throughout the process.
Our aim is to make local procedures easier to understand and help you communicate your needs clearly to the people and organisations involved.
Clear communication, attentive follow-up and personal care are at the heart of our service.
Meet the founder
Aylin Şansal Dursun
Founder · Antalya Expat Life
I hold a degree in International Relations from Anadolu University. After living in Sakarya, Istanbul and Izmir, I settled in Side with my family. For the past four years, this region has been my home—and it is now the home of Antalya Expat Life.
Education and certificates
In addition to my degree in International Relations, I hold certificates for Lund University’s “European Business Law: Understanding the Fundamentals” and KU Leuven’s “European Union Law” courses.
My professional background is in digital communications for national and international publishing brands. During my time at Dünya Group, my responsibilities included managing Türkiye-based social media accounts for publications such as Dünya Gazetesi, The New York Times and Financial Times. Working across different editorial identities strengthened my ability to assess information, use language thoughtfully and manage communications with care.
During my travels to many countries, I came to appreciate how important it is to express yourself and find the right person to turn to in an unfamiliar place. When I began helping international neighbours in Antalya with their documents and correspondence, that perspective took on a practical purpose.
Built on first-hand experience.
Antalya Expat Life grew out of the support I provided to international residents around me. I helped a German property owner with German-language correspondence relating to the rental of their home. In a separate case, I communicated with an insurer to clarify the scope of another property owner’s insurance cover. I also provided voluntary communication support to someone whose residence procedures had been disrupted by difficult personal circumstances, during their return to their home country.
These experiences inspired me to bring my communication skills and local knowledge together through Antalya Expat Life.
Personally involved in your support.
I listen to your needs directly and explain how I can help. Before we begin, we agree on the scope of work, the expected timeframe and the fee. I follow up on the agreed tasks and keep you informed of developments.
As Antalya Expat Life grows, I intend to preserve this personal approach: a service where you know who you are speaking to, can raise your questions directly and know that your case is receiving careful attention.
Let’s clarify what you need.
If you need support with documents, correspondence or an everyday administrative matter, you can write to us in English, German or Turkish. We will first understand your situation, then explain which steps we can help with.
Our services cover organisational assistance with documents, communication and coordination. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation. Legal questions must be assessed by a qualified lawyer.
