Do I need a medical visa?
Visa requirements for Türkiye vary by nationality. Some patients can enter visa-free or with an electronic visa, while others must apply through a Turkish consulate before travel. Your coordinator can help you identify the correct official route, but the visa decision is always made by the relevant authority.
Start checking requirements as soon as your treatment dates are being discussed. Consular processing times can vary, and a medical trip often requires confirmed appointment details before the application is complete.
What documents can Florence provide?
When needed, Florence can prepare an invitation letter on hospital letterhead confirming your planned appointment, hospital information and expected treatment dates. This can usually be prepared after your case has been reviewed and your appointment schedule is clear.
If a companion is travelling with you, tell your coordinator early. In many cases an accompanying family member can also be mentioned in the supporting documentation, depending on the consulate's requirements.
What should I prepare?
You should prepare a valid passport, recent medical reports, your appointment confirmation, any invitation letter requested by the consulate, travel dates and proof of accommodation where required. The exact list depends on the official visa channel for your country.
Keep digital and printed copies of your medical appointment details while travelling. They can be useful at the airport, hotel and hospital check-in.
