I just arrived in Ankara, what should I do first?
Written from the official source cited below. Where a rule changes each term, this answer describes the process and sends you to the source for the current dates.
A typical newcomer sequence: get from the airport to your accommodation; buy and register a SIM card; get some cash/set up payments; obtain a tax number and open a bank account; get an AnkaraKart for transport; complete university registration and collect your student ID and METU IT account; then start your residence-permit application with ISO guidance, arrange health insurance, and settle in (Wi-Fi, cafeteria, library, clubs). Use the "New Student" guide for the step-by-step version. Always confirm official steps with METU ISO.
