Genel Sağlık Sigortası (Health Insurance for Foreign Nationals)   Updated on 11.02.2025

It is required to get health insurance for foreigners if you like to stay in Türkiye longer than your country visa allows. And if you are going to stay more than 90 days in Türkiye, you will need a residence permit. 

You have to get private insurance when you apply for a residence permit. If you have travel insurance or any international insurance that covers Türkiye, it will work in hospitals, but unfortunately it is not recognized by Residence Permit Officers at the Immigration Office. 

You can get private health insurance from our office in Şişhane within an hour if you bring your original passport with you. Your health insurance period should be according to the optimum dates of your status. So your residence permit validation will not be less than you expect.

We are working with Gulf Türkiye (GIG) and Ankara Sigorta (original passport needed). Our insurance meets all the requirements of the government. Visit our office to obtain your insurance. You can email info@istanbulforeignersoffice.com.
