How can I get paid from abroad in Turkey?

A global payment account gives you account details in currencies such as USD, EUR or GBP, so clients and marketplaces can pay you locally in their country. You then convert to TRY and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to TRY?

Costs are the conversion margin plus any withdrawal fee to your local bank in Turkey. Compare both, as they vary a lot between providers.
