Arranging the trip

Be Sure About Your Diagnosis and Treatment Needs

The more you know about the treatment you’re seeking, the easier your search for a physician will be. Do work closely with your local doctor or medical specialist, and make sure you obtain exact recommendations-in writing, if possible. If you lack confidence in your doctor’s diagnosis, seek a second opinion.

Research Your In-Country Doctor Thoroughly

This is the most important step of all. When you’ve narrowed your search to two or three physicians, invest some time and money in personal telephone interviews, either directly with your candidate doctors or through your health travel planning agency. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, lots of them, until you feel comfortable that you have chosen a competent physician.

Crossing The Turkish Border

Entry

The most common point of entry (and exit) for a tourist is one of the many Airports in Turkiye.

Formalities are not too unusual for a seasoned traveler, but depending on the time of your arrival (and through which Port of Entry) delays and queues can be experienced.

One thing you should check before you arrive is the Turkish Visa Requirements relating to your Nationality. In most cases you are able to purchase a Tourist Visa in country - this is not 100% rule though so check before arrival.
