VISA & TRAVEL ASSISTANCETÜRKİYE · ISTANBUL

Your visa, handled before you pack

Türkiye is one of the easiest countries to enter for medical travel: many passports are visa-free, most others receive an e-visa online within minutes. For everything else, we prepare the two documents embassies ask for — an official proforma invoice and a medical invitation letter — within 48 hours.

Visa-free entry

Most European, British, Japanese and Korean patients enter with just their passport, typically for up to 90 days — enough for the full lengthening phase in Istanbul.

STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS?

Residence permit support

🪪

For patients who complete the full lengthening phase in IstanbulQuadrilateral lengthening or longer recovery plans can exceed the standard 90-day stay. In that case we help you apply for a short-term residence permit: the proforma invoice and hospital confirmation serve as proof of medical treatment, and we guide you through the appointment and documents. Alternatively, with the doctor's approval, many patients fly home after 10–15 days and continue lengthening with our remote follow-up program.

Visa questions patients ask

Is the visa assistance free?

Yes. Preparing the proforma invoice, the medical invitation letter and the hospital confirmation is part of our service at no extra charge. Government visa fees, if any, are paid by you to the authorities.

How fast do I receive the documents?

Within 48 hours of receiving your passport copy, planned dates and address — usually faster.

Do I need a special "medical visa"?

No. Patients enter Türkiye visa-free, with a standard e-visa, or with a regular consular visa depending on their passport. The proforma invoice and invitation letter support your application and answer any questions at the border.

Can a companion get an invitation too?

Yes. If a family member or friend travels with you, we can include them in the invitation letter and the accommodation booking.

What if my visa is refused?

It is rare with a complete file, but if it happens we help you reapply with any additional documents the consulate requests and reschedule your surgery date without penalty.
