Important Notification! 

Student visa is no longer obligatory

 

According to the resolution No. 978811785-102-02-4771 by Immigration department of MIA of Turkey issued on 17.06.2014, a student visa is no longer required for foreign students who want to study in Turkey. It‘s required neither for university registration nor for Residency application

 

It is recommended to have a student visa for foreigners who generally need a visa to enter Turkey. All other types of visas or legal entrance procedures will be accepted by BAU for registration.

Please see the visa information for foreigners here http://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa

 

BAU requires all international students at the Istanbul campuses to obtain residence permits from the Turkish government.  Under Turkish law students must apply for permits within 30 days of entering the country.  Applications for permits can take up to 90 days to be processed, or occasionally longer.

Applicants may not leave Turkey until their application is processed and they have received their residency permit.

The Residency application process is as follows:

1) Make an appointment to visit the Istanbul Directorate of Migration Management:

Fill out online application form https://e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr
