Insurance questions, answered honestly

Which insurance do I need for a Turkish residence permit?

Foreigners applying for a Turkish residence permit must hold health insurance valid in Türkiye that meets the minimum coverage set by the Turkish Migration Management. The policy must cover the full permit period. We quote compliant policies and issue the certificate you submit with your application.

Is travel insurance mandatory for a Schengen visa application from Turkey?

Yes. Schengen visa applications require travel medical insurance with at least €30,000 coverage, valid in all Schengen states for the whole trip. Our travel health policies meet the consulate requirements and we state this on the certificate.

Do tourists visiting Turkey need insurance?

Insurance is not required for entry with most passports, but foreign visitors are not covered by Turkish public healthcare — a private hospital visit is paid out of pocket. A tourist policy covering illness, accident and repatriation typically costs a small fraction of one clinic invoice.

How fast do I get a quote and the policy?

Tourist insurance for Türkiye is instant: see your fixed price online, pay on the page, and the policy PDF is emailed within minutes. Travel health insurance is issued instantly as well. Residence permit policies are quoted within one business day and usually issued the same day you pay.

Why buy through an agency instead of a comparison site?

Because a human checks that the policy actually fits the purpose — consulate requirements, residence permit minimums, age limits, sports coverage. We are a TÜRSAB-licensed agency (No. 17044) working with licensed Turkish insurers, and you have one contact person if you ever need to claim.

What does the tourist health insurance for Türkiye cover?

Treatment of a sudden illness or accident that first occurs during your stay: doctor, hospital, surgery, ambulance and medicines, up to USD 35,000 in total (GIG Incoming policy). It also covers emergency medical evacuation, repatriation of remains, and 24-hour assistance (medical advice, help with a lost passport or luggage, translation). There is no waiting period; cover is valid only inside Türkiye between the policy dates.

What does the tourist health insurance NOT cover?

Pre-existing and congenital conditions and their flare-ups; routine check-ups, lab tests, X-rays and vaccinations; pregnancy, birth and fertility treatment; mental and psychological disorders; glasses, lenses and hearing aids; cosmetic surgery; treatment a doctor did not find necessary; alcohol or drug related conditions and self-inflicted injury. Dangerous sports (racing, diving, mountaineering, parachuting, motorcycling, boxing; skiing unless added) are excluded, as are war, terrorism, natural disasters, nuclear events and epidemics, COVID-19 included.

What does the travel health insurance for trips abroad cover?

Treatment of a sudden illness or accident abroad, up to EUR 30,000 in total, which meets the Schengen visa requirement (GIG COVID-19 Visa plan). It includes emergency dental treatment after an accident (up to EUR 100 per tooth), COVID-19 treatment, emergency medical evacuation back to Türkiye, repatriation of remains and 24-hour assistance. Available for ages 6 months to 80 years, valid worldwide according to the zone you choose.

What does the travel health insurance NOT cover?

The same medical exclusions as the tourist policy (pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, psychological disorders, routine care, cosmetic treatment, glasses, dangerous sports, alcohol, war, natural disasters). In addition: COVID-19 diagnosed before departure or inside Türkiye, negative COVID tests, travel to Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea or Crimea, balloon and cruise tours. In Cuba you pay first and claim later. Only residents of Türkiye or the TRNC (or residence-permit applicants) can be insured.

I am a foreigner living in Türkiye. Am I covered when I visit my home country?

No. The travel health policy explicitly gives no cover inside the country of your citizenship. It protects you in third countries only, for example a Russian resident of Istanbul travelling to Germany is covered, but not on a trip to Russia.

When does the policy start, and what do I do if I fall ill?

Cover starts at 00:00 Türkiye time on the start date you chose, provided the premium is paid; a policy cannot be cancelled once the trip has begun. If you need help, call the GIG assistance line first: +90 216 681 75 45, available 24 hours. Medical evacuation must be approved by the insurer in advance, otherwise it is not paid. The hospital can bill the insurer directly, or you pay and claim with the invoices and medical report.
