Founded to Stand by Those Considering a Move to Europe
In 2016, our founder Vedat Saygin moved to Portugal with his family. At the time, there was virtually no reliable, Turkish-language resource for those wanting to relocate from Turkey to Europe. Finding a lawyer, understanding paperwork, choosing the right programme -- every step was a separate adventure, every piece of information came from a different source, and most were full of misleading promises.
That experience laid the foundation for Avrupa Oturumu. We set out to prevent other families from facing the difficulties we experienced first-hand. Today, with over 120 successful applications, local legal partnerships in 8 countries, and three offices in Lisbon, Bratislava, and Istanbul, we provide independent, transparent advisory to investors worldwide.
