Abstract: This paper examines the impact of international migration to Turkey on internal migration, with a focus on racially motivated causes. We uncover heterogeneity among immigrants based on their nationality. Using a detailed dataset on bilateral migration flows from 2012 to 2022, our findings indicate that an increase in the share of foreigners in the origin province has a positive effect on internal migration. Extending our analysis to include overall satisfaction with public services, we observe that dissatisfied citizens may perceive foreign migrants as contributing to their dissatisfaction, prompting them to migrate internally in search of better living conditions or opportunities. Conversely, in provinces where residents are satisfied with public services, the influence of the foreign migrant ratio on internal migration declines.
