Viza ya matibabu ya Uturuki

Most nationalities eligible for Turkey's standard e-Visa (90 days, multiple entry) can use it for medical travel without needing a dedicated medical category. For longer stays or when the hospital is USHAŞ-partnered (the government medical-tourism facilitator), a Medical Visa with hospital invitation letter is processed through USHAŞ in 2-3 working days.

Insider tip

USHAŞ maintains a list of approved medical-tourism hospitals — if your hospital is USHAŞ-affiliated, documentation is smoother. Verify the facility's Ministry of Health license number before booking any cosmetic or elective procedure. For post-op extensions, the online residence-permit appointment backlog can be 4-6 weeks in Istanbul.
