Planning Your Visit

Your journey
to Istanbul

From the moment you contact us to the moment you return home, every logistical detail is managed by your personal patient coordinator — so you can focus entirely on your health.

Visa & travel documents

Turkey offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to citizens of over 100 countries. For countries that require an e-Visa, the application takes under 10 minutes online.

For patients who need a formal invitation letter for visa purposes — to demonstrate the purpose and duration of their medical visit — NeuroTurkey provides an official medical visa support letter from our partner hospital, free of charge.

Citizens of certain countries may require a standard visa; we will advise you on the exact requirements for your nationality when you book your consultation.

E-Visa countries

Most Middle Eastern, European, and Asian nationalities can obtain a Turkish e-Visa online in minutes at evisa.gov.tr.

Visa-free access

Citizens of the EU, UK, and many other countries enter Turkey without any advance visa arrangement for stays up to 90 days.

Medical visa letters

We provide official hospital invitation letters for patients who need supporting documentation for their visa application — at no cost.

Arriving & getting around

Istanbul is served by two international airports. Istanbul Airport (IST) is one of the largest airports in Europe and connects to virtually every major city worldwide. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) serves many European budget carriers.

Your coordinator arranges private airport transfer for you and your companions — a driver will meet you at arrivals with your name, and take you directly to your hotel or hospital. No language barrier, no navigation stress.

All hospital appointments are also accompanied — your coordinator is present at every consultation, with a medical interpreter if needed.

Where to stay

We arrange accommodation near our partner hospitals in the European side of Istanbul. Our preferred partner hotels offer:

Medical proximity

All recommended hotels are within 5–15 minutes of our partner hospitals.

Patient-adapted rooms

Accessible rooms, ground-floor options, and medical equipment if needed.

Negotiated rates

Our partner rates are significantly below walk-in pricing for the same standard.

For companions too

Comfortable options for the family member or companion who travels with the patient.
