Foreigners Leaving Alanya: Residency Issues and Rising Costs Hit the City

Foreign residents are leaving Alanya, abandoning their education and jobs due to difficulties in obtaining residence permits, the rising cost of living, and inadequate infrastructure. Alanya is bleeding both economically and socially.

Once considered a second home for people from all over the world, Alanya has been losing its international residents at an alarming rate in recent years. Foreigners who settled in the city are now packing their bags and returning to their home countries, citing the inability to obtain residence permits, increasing living expenses, frequent power outages, and infrastructure shortages. This decline in the foreign resident population has led to a noticeable downturn in many sectors, from real estate to tourism and food.
