Turn up in a foreign land (7)

I believe the answer is:

unearth

'turn up' is the definition.
('unearth' can be a synonym of 'turn up')

'a foreign land' is the wordplay.
'a foreign' becomes 'un' ('a' translated into French).
'land' becomes 'earth' ('earth' can be a synonym of 'land'**).
'un'+'earth'='UNEARTH'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for unearth that I've seen before include "Disinter" , "Cut a certain wire" , "Dig up or find for haunter" , "dredge up" , "Dig up - uncover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Sun, The Guardian and The Times.
