What Is Residence Permit Insurance in Turkey for Foreigners & Students?

Residence permit insurance (also known as yabancı sağlık sigortası or ikamet sigortası) is a mandatory health insurance policy required for all foreign nationals who wish to obtain or renew a residence permit (ikamet izni) in Turkey. Under Turkish law, anyone staying in Turkey for more than 90 days must hold a valid health insurance policy that meets the minimum coverage standards set by the Directorate General of Migration Management.

This insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatments at contracted hospitals throughout Turkey. Whether you are a student, a worker, a family member joining a relative, or simply living in Turkey long-term, you are required to present proof of valid health insurance as part of your residence permit application or renewal.

Yab Sigorta makes this process effortless. Instead of visiting an office or dealing with complex paperwork, you can purchase your government-approved insurance policy in minutes through our mobile app. Your digital policy (PDF) is delivered instantly to your email — ready to submit to the immigration office. We support all visa and residence types across all cities in Turkey, with prices based on your age and policy duration.
