What is Travel Insurance for Visitors to Türkiye and what does it do?

Whether you're coming to Türkiye on holiday, for work or to see someone close to you, everyone hopes for the same thing: a trip without any trouble. But the human body doesn't always stick to the plan. Food poisoning, a twisted ankle or an unexpected high fever can leave you facing costs you never planned for, in a country you don't know.

Travel Insurance for Visitors to Türkiye protects foreign nationals against sudden and unexpected illness and accidents for as long as they're here. Emergency medical treatment costs, transfer to a healthcare facility when needed and the journey home after treatment are all covered.

If your Turkish visa application asks for health insurance, this policy is designed to meet that requirement. Tell us your arrival and departure dates and we'll prepare the policy to the exact day, so you can enjoy Türkiye with peace of mind.

What's covered

What does the policy cover?

Depending on the package you choose, some or all of the cover below can be added to your policy.

Emergency Medical Treatment in Türkiye

For sudden illness and accidents during your stay, consultation, test and medication costs are paid in line with your policy terms. This is the cover visa applications ask for.

Hospital Stay and Surgery

If you need to be admitted at a contracted healthcare facility, surgery and treatment costs are covered, with payment usually made directly to the facility.

Emergency Dental Treatment

If toothache strikes during your visit, emergency treatment such as pain relief and simple fillings is covered up to the amount set out in the policy.

Medical Repatriation

If it isn't appropriate to continue treatment in Türkiye, the cost of transferring you to a healthcare facility in your home country is covered, with a doctor's approval.

Repatriation of Remains

In the event of an unexpected death, the arrangements for returning the insured person to their home country are handled, and the cost is considered under the policy.

Travel and Accommodation for a Companion

If your hospital stay is extended, travel costs for a relative to come to Türkiye and a daily accommodation allowance for a set period are provided.

Lost or Damaged Baggage

If the baggage you checked in with the airline on your way to Türkiye is lost or damaged, your loss is assessed together with the airline's report and paid.

Baggage Delay

If your suitcase reaches Türkiye after you do, you're reimbursed for the essentials you had to buy while waiting.

Trip Cancellation

If you have to cancel your visit to Türkiye for one of the valid reasons listed in the policy, you get help with non-refundable ticket and accommodation payments.

Extended Stay

If you can't take your return flight for health reasons, extra nights of accommodation are covered within policy limits, where a doctor considers it necessary.

Cover, exclusions and limits vary with the package you choose and the policy's general and special terms. To work out the right set of cover for you, call us on 0850 303 28 66.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about Travel Insurance for Visitors to Türkiye

If your question isn't on the list, give us a call. We'll keep explaining until it all makes sense.

It depends on the consulate you apply to and the type of visa; many applications ask for valid health insurance. If you can enter without a visa it isn't compulsory, but given the cost of treatment, having cover makes a great deal of sense.

Yes. The policy can be arranged from Türkiye using the visitor's passport details and travel dates, and the document is sent to them digitally.

No. Residence permit applications require Health Insurance for Foreigners, which has its own requirements, and short-term travel policies aren't accepted. If you plan to stay in Türkiye long term, let us know and we'll point you to the right product.

It must cover the whole period from the day you arrive in Türkiye to the day you leave. Even one missing day can cause problems with applications, so please give us exact dates.

Policies are normally arranged before travel, and visa applications require one anyway. For visitors who are already in the country, we can look at the situation and explain the options available.

The policy is for sudden and unexpected situations; planned treatment of conditions that existed before travel isn't covered. If an emergency develops, treatment is assessed in line with the policy terms.

Where possible, you'll be directed to a contracted facility and payment is made directly. If that isn't possible, you can pay the costs and claim them back with invoices and medical reports.

No. This policy isn't for planned treatment; it's for sudden and unexpected situations that arise while you're in Türkiye. If you're coming for planned treatment, you can think of this policy as extra protection alongside it.
