Here we want to give you interesting information and useful tips about life in Istanbul and a glimpse behind the scenes of this site.

How it all began

It all started a couple of years ago. Foreign friends and acquaintances were often asking about finding apartments here in Istanbul. Because most of them didn't speak Turkish, we considered making a website to bring locals and foreigners together. Time passed, and eventually a family member in Brazil asked to have a website created for her where she could offer her apartment for rent towards foreigners. Since she spoke no English, this provided the final push to create a housing site where foreigners and locals can communicate with each other across language boundaries.

Moreover we wanted to create a page that would be as easy to use as possible.

After over a year of preparation and 4 months of sleepless programming nights the first version was online in May 2009. First only for Brazil and then on the 19th of July 2009 also for Istanbul.


The founders

We are a 25 year old Brazilian living in Berlin, and a 29 year old American living in Istanbul. We'd like to thank all of our friends and family who believed in us.


There is no million dollor investor standing behind ButterSun.

We hope you like the site nevertheless.

Until next time!

Merhaba!

Adorei o blog, ele é sucinto mas com informações muito interessantes que não consegui encontrar em nenhum outro lugar da net.

Eu sou um carioca que passou férias em Istambul, mas sonhava em conhecê-la desde criancinha, e voltou de lá mais apaixonado pela cidade do que pensou que pudesse ficar. Resultado? Planejo e irei morar em Istambul no ano que vem, então, aproveitando que vocês tbm são estrangeiros, gostaria de saber se é fácil o processo de imigração, nacionalidade, visto e tals. Meu e-mail está acima, por favor, peço que me contatem.

Tessukür Ederim!!!

Hello Guys,

we are happy that you like our site and we are trying our best to provide you with useful informations.

Roger: I will shortly translate your question. Roger comes from Rio and liked Istanbul so much, that he is considering to move here next year and wants to know about the process of imigration to turkey.

Working in Turkey Istanbul
In general its hard to live in turkey. Due to the reason, that the living cost especially in Istanbul compared to the amount of money you earning is extremely high. I know foreigners who are working for 15 Euros 8 hours a day. If you do not speak turkish, the best job you can do to earn money is teaching foreign languages.

Visa for Turkey
If you come from one of this country you can stay in Turkey for 3 months, without applying for a visa:
Argentinien, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bolivien, Bulgarien, Chile, Dänemark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fidschi Inseln, Finnland, Frankreich, Grenada, Griechenland, Iran, Island, Israel, Jamaika, Japan, Kenia, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Marokko, Mauritius, Monako, Neuseeland, Nicaragua, Saint Lucia, San Marino, Schweiz, Schweden, Seychellen, Singapur, Südkorea, Trinidad, Tobago, Tunesien, Türkische Republik Nordzypern, Uruguay, Vatikan, Hongkong SAR, Honduras.

If you are Brasilian you need to apply for a visa in the turkish consulate in Brazil.

These are the inormations we can give you right away and from our personal experience. Though we will make researches and write a more detailed blog post about working in istanbul and what it needs to immigrate to turkey.
