Students need to visit the Turkish Embassy or a Consulate with the acceptance letter to be received from the University. Though varying from country to country, you might need to acquire student visa which is only valid for a month. Students won’t be asked for a student visa during registration as every country has a different implication for student visa. PLEASE double check with the Turkish consulate in your country as soon as you have your document.
- Bear in mind that every student has to obtain a student residence permit once they get registered. You must obtain a student residence permit appointment from Provincial Directorates of Migration Management shortly after you enter the country. (Click for read the details)
- By Turkish Law, a comprehensive health insurance is obligatory for international students to be able to obtain residence permit. If you don’t have a valid health insurance at the time of your application to the Provincial Directorates of Migration Management, you will be given 3 months to obtain and submit a copy of the health insurance.
- Students, who hold a residence permit obtained outside of Istanbul, must transfer their residence files to Istanbul from the relevant city as soon as they complete their registration to the university.
- Students who hold a Blue Card are not required to obtain a residence permit.
