What is a medical visa?
A medical visa is issued to people who travel to another country for medical treatment. It is usually valid for a specific period and is typically granted to people seeking treatment that is not available in their home country, or specialized care that is available abroad.
A medical visa allows you to receive treatment in another country while complying with its immigration laws. Obtaining a medical visa for Türkiye is a relatively straightforward process.
Check the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa information for foreigners to verify whether you are exempt from a visa or, depending on your home country, to learn more about the application process.
