Preparing before you come to Turkey for treatment makes the process easier. Visa and entry rules vary by country and over time, so treat the information below as a starting list and verify it with official sources.
Documents
- A passport with enough validity (many cases require it to be valid for at least six months after the travel date)
- An approved visa or e-visa if required
- Flight and accommodation bookings
- The clinic's written offer and appointment details
- A list of your medications, previous reports and test results
How to check your visa status
Check the visa requirement for Turkey for your nationality through sources such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the official e-visa system. Your coordinator can guide you, but the final responsibility lies with the applicant.
Stay plan
- The first day for examination and planning
- The procedure day and rest straight after
- Follow-up appointments
- A day suitable for flying, with your physician's approval
Plan the flight date with your physician according to the procedure; some procedures call for a wait before flying.
Travel insurance and contact
Check what your travel health insurance covers. Save emergency numbers and your coordinator's contact details on your phone.
Pick-up and transfers
If airport pick-up and hotel-clinic transfers are planned, confirm the times and whom to call beforehand.
