How do I get health insurance in Turkey

You can get health insurance in Turkey suitable for residence according to two ways:
  • The first: comprehensive health insurance
  • The second: low-cost health insurance

The majority of foreigners obtain low-cost health insurance, which is characterized by the following:

  • Pay once per year
  • It is possible to apply for a residence permit or to renew it
  • There is no need to extract it for those under the age of 18 or over the age of 65
  • Its value increases with the age of the person applying for health insurance
  • It does not cover the full costs of treatment in Turkey, but rather covers some minor costs such as inspection and examination in government hospitals, and most private hospitals do not adopt this insurance
  • Health insurance is issued for each family member separately
  • It takes only a few minutes to extract it

Therefore, you must first ask about the costs covered by health insurance and the hospitals that recognize it, if the subject of treatment in Turkey concerns you, but if you only want it to obtain residence in Turkey, it is better to search for the cheapest offers.
