Frequently asked questions

Do I need travel insurance for a Türkiye visa from Nigeria?

Yes. The Turkish Embassy in Abuja lists travel health insurance covering the entire stay among the required documents, and Law No. 6458 does not allow a visa to be issued without valid health insurance.

Which dates should the policy cover?

Every day from your planned arrival in Türkiye until your departure, as on your flight reservation. If your dates change before the visa is issued, write to us before cover starts.

How much does it cost?

Türkiye tourist insurance starts from EUR 9.90 for one week and EUR 19.90 for one month per person. Your exact price appears online as soon as you enter your age and dates.

How fast do I receive the policy?

For Nigerian passports our team checks the policy so that your nationality is printed correctly. The PDF usually arrives within one business day, so buy it a few days before your appointment.

Does the policy cover me outside Türkiye?

No. The cover is valid only inside Türkiye, from 00:00 Türkiye time on your start date until the end date on the policy.

If my visa is refused, do I get a refund?

No. Once a policy is issued it cannot be cancelled or refunded, even if cover has not started. Buy it when your appointment and travel dates are confirmed, and check your name, passport number and dates before paying.
