Occupational Therapist Salary in Turkey

Occupational Therapist in Turkey: read the median against a +12% outlook

The Turkey national median for a occupational therapist is ₺2.200.000 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about ₺1.330.000 in Ankara to ₺1.590.000 in Istanbul (1.2×).

Occupational therapists help patients regain skills for daily living and work after injury or illness. Common screening skills include Rehabilitation, Assessment, Planning, and Empathy.

A modeled national band runs about ₺1.645.600–₺2.877.600 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +12% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Turkish city.

Istanbul sits -28% vs the national median; Ankara sits -40%. Relocating inside Turkey for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.
