Dear Student,
You can benefit from any of the health insurances listed below for your residence permit procedures;
1) Private Health Insurance
For private health insurance, you can get the insurance according to the duration of your stay by contacting insurance companies.
IMPORTANT: The policy must have the expression of "This policy covers the minimum coverage stipulated in the circular no 9, dated 06/06/2014, on private health insurance required to be taken out for residence permit applications.".
Otherwise, the insurance you have made cannot be used in residence permit procedures.
Please do not forget to receive signed and stamped/sealed, original copy of your insurance policy.
2) General Health Insurance
In the first 3 months from the date of your enrollment to the university (the registration date on your student certificate is taken into account), you can go to the nearest social security institution and declare that you want to have general health insurance.
One of the following documents must be included in your file for your residence permit procedures:
• E-signed/signed and stamped/sealed document to be obtained from provincial social security units which states that the foreigner is benefiting from the health services in Turkey within the scope of bilateral social security agreements
• E-signed/signed and stamped/sealed provision document received from Social Security Institution (Provision documents to be received from Social Security Institution must be in such a manner that they must be both supportive and cover family members.)
• E-signed or signed, stamped document of the application made to the Social Security Institution to become a general health insurance holder
