For those seeking to go on medical tourism in Turkey, it is important to understand the visa requirements a step further to make any…. From personal experience I found the process a bit simple, but let us break it down step by step.
1. Visa Types
Before hand, it is important to remember to have the appropriate visa required to enter Turkey. Now if you are coming for medical tourism purposes then you will be required to apply for a tourist visa. This allows one to stay in Turkey for not more than 90 days in a 180 day period.
2. Visa Application Process
For an e visa application to be made, one must have a Turkish citizenship and be registered in an eligible country such as USA, Canada or many EU. The application is simple, just provide your personal and travel details on their official eVisa website, make a small payment of $20, and a few minutes later, voila! Your visa is sent to your email!
For those who wish to stay longer than 90 days or do not qualify for an e visa, you will have to attend a Turkish embassy or consulate in your country. The process may require these individuals to provide additional visas or other travel permissions.
3. Documents Required
Most importantly, you must possess the following documents:
A passport which is valid for all the time for which you will be staying
Passport application form duly filled in by you
An evidence of accommodation (which might be provided by your hotel)
An outlined plan of the whole trip
Travel insurance which is valid in different countries ************************************************
4. Health Insurance
Having health insurance is not only a matter of fulfilling the visa requirement, but it will also be a matter of your peace of mind during the time of your treatment in Turkey. It is best to speak with the insurer about the coverage for operations carried out in Turkey.
5. Additional Considerations
When travelling with those whom will also be treated, or family who will accompany you, the loved ones must not be forgotten in obtaining the aforementioned visas as well.
To summarize, visa requirements may seem baffling at first, it inculcates a sense of dread even but when you are prepared with the requisite documents, it is more or less a walk in the park for you. Just be aware of the fact that there is no uniformity regarding the guidelines as they may be altered from time to time. Have a great medical tour!! Best of luck!
