🇹🇷 Turkey

Student Visa

Turkey hosts over 200,000 international students at its universities. Student visas require an acceptance letter from a Turkish educational institution before applying at a Turkish embassy. University tuition is affordable compared to Western countries ($500-4,000/year for public universities, $8,000-25,000 for private). Students can work part-time (up to 24 hours/week) after obtaining a work permit. The Türkiye Scholarships program offers full funding including tuition, accommodation, and monthly stipend to international students. Student residence permits are issued for the duration of the academic program, requiring renewal for each academic year.
