*Visa Procedures

For a start, you should apply to our school via e-mail or phone to get a Letter of Acceptance. For this, please send us your passport information and express the date you wish to start your tuition.
With the Letter of Acceptance we send, you should apply to the Turkish Consulate nearest to your area to be issued a student visa.
You must make your application early enough considering that the visa procedures may take approximately 2 months.
You will be issued a residency permit after arriving to Turkey with your student visa and completing your enrollment in our Turkish program. Our school will assist you with the procedures in Turkey.
Students who come to Turkey on a student visa should enroll in our programs for a period of at least 6 months. You may pay your tuition fee on arrival or you may send it to our bank account before you arrive.
If the Turkish Consulate that you have applied requires to see an invoice for your first payment, only then you shall be charged a 150$ of preregistration fee, which will be considered as a part of your total payment you shall do on arrival but will be non-refundable in case your visa is not accepted for some reason.

5. ACCOMMODATION

You may apply to the state or private dorms in Ankara with a letter you'll get from our school after your enrollment. Other than dorms, our school is able to assist you with two different accommodation options:

Homestay with a Turkish family
Homestay with a single person

State dorms generally provide breakfast and dinner. Prices are very reasonable. (Monthly avarage is around 150$) However, you should agree to share your room with 3-5 more students. Beddings and towels are generally not provided.

Costs in private dorms are higher (Monthly avarage is around 400$) Breakfast and dinner is generally provided.

Enrollment for a minimum period of 6 months is generally a must in the dorms and curfew is always applied.

Cost for homestays are similar to private dorms (Monthly avarage 400$) Breakfast , beddings and towels and sometimes dinner is generally provided. Minimum stay is 2-4 weeks. Homestay with a Turkish family may bring some social limitations but usually there is no curfew. But in Turkey, family homestay is generally available for female students rather than male students. International students mostly prefer to share the house with a single owner. There may be 1-2 international students that you share the house with.
