Health Insurance
Incoming students must have their own health insurance valid in Turkey. Students must obtain a health insurance covering the minimums indicated below:
VISA
Before the application and admission, all students are advised to examine the visa procedures specific to their country to enter Turkey. The necessary information can be found on this link.
It is the individual responsibility of each student to learn about and collect/submit the necessary documents for a visa. ISTE IRO cannot provide counsel on visas since more accurate and complete information is available at Embassies; however, any required document for visa application may be provided, if requested by the Embassy or the student.
For those incoming students who require a visa to enter Turkey should apply to the nearest Turkish Consulate/Embassy with the necessary documents. The Embassies and Consulates list can be viewed from this link.
Necessary Documents for Visa
Each applicant may be required to submit different documents; however, the basic documents are as follow:
- Application Fee: Application fees depend on the country and duration of the visa.
- Letter of Acceptance: All students who are accepted to ISTE as an Exchange/Erasmus+/Mevlana student receive a letter of acceptance. Letter of acceptance is the document proving that the student have been officially accepted by ISTE as an Exchange/Erasmus+/Mevlana student. The document also includes the financial details of the exchange semester. Acceptance letter may be used for visa purposes for those who are required to have a visa to enter Turkey.
- Passport: The passport the student uses during the application must be valid until the end of the exchange semester in Turkey.
- Proof of Finances: In addition to the financial support indicated in the letter of acceptance, the students may be required to submit additional proof of finances.
- Travel Insurance: The students may be required to submit travel insurance.
- Support Documents: IRO provides visa support documents to the Embassy/Consulate the student applies to.
Additional to the documents above, the Embassy/Consulate may require other documents. For further information, it is imperative that you contact the nearest Turkish Embassy/Consulate.
RESIDENCE PERMIT
Regardless of the visa status (student/no visa), all incoming students must apply online for a Residence Permit within one month of arrival to Turkey. During the orientation program, a specific session regarding the residence permit procedures will be held, and ISTE IRO provides assistance through the residence permit procedures to all of the exchange students.

ACCOMODATION
ISTE doesn’t have its own dormitory, however, there are student dormitories affilitated to Higher Education Student Loans and Dormitories Institution near the central campus. Besides, there are apart hotels, as well as private dormitories and apartments for rent, so the Iskenderun has a wide range of facilities for accommodation for visiting students.
Private dormitories are available. Sharing a flat with another student/s costs around 75 to 100 Euro per person including rent for a furnished apartment, electricity, water, heating and sometimes the Internet service. Renting a flat or apart costs about 150-200 Euro depending on the location, number of rooms, and facilities.
