Istanbul Foreigners Office (IFO) is a privately held consulting agency founded by Recep Alparslan Ceylan as a result of collective experiences that he has gained as founder president of Istanbul University’s Erasmus Student Organization (Existanbul). IFO aims to provide solutions in a broad range for foreign people who want to relocate to Istanbul for touristic purposes or work, education, internships, etc.
We have been working for İstanbul Üniversitesi Erasmus Student Organization (Existanbul) since 2010. In this period we realized that exchange students are having challenges finding internships and accommodation and getting into social life. As IFO, we stand by foreigners to solve these problems they might have in Turkey. While İstanbul keeps up with the globalization trend better and faster, we want to be the first company that pops up in mind for finding unique solutions for relocation, smooth accommodation facilities, and creating a better environment.
All bad and good things in life consist of reflection. As IFO, we want to be like a magnet with opposite sides that work in collaboration and create a magnetic area that is well balanced, strong, and captivating. Applying this principle in all steps of us, we believe we will reach sustainable success. Would you like to join us and take your place in this positive circle?
Art is a formation of contrasting pieces. There is a contrast in all of the creative, aesthetic, and beautiful forms in the world. Also, both success and happiness hide contrast in their roots. Just like Istanbul... As lovers of this city, benefiting from all the contrasts it has, we want to provide creative and innovative services for you. The important thing is realizing pure contrast while others mostly define it as complication.
Can you imagine as an employee working for 8 hours/4 days in a week? What if one weekday were only for going to exhibitions, meeting new people, enjoying live events, or traveling? Do you think this kind of weekly program could make things work better or worse?
With the intention of being unconventional, we value ourselves and create spaces to feed our souls and not to kill our creativity. But it’s not the only thing that is unconventional about us. Why don’t you visit us and discuss the rest of them face-to-face?
