People who plan to come to Istanbul only in order to learn Turkish at Ticaret TÖMER should apply for not a student visa but a language course visa. Student visa is for people who intend to receive education in a degree program at a university in Türkiye.
After registration and payment processes, an official acceptance letter and a certificate of student status are prepared for visa and residence permit applications.
Required documents for registration:
- 1- The photocopy of your passport
- 2- Bank receipt after the payment
- 3- Registration form (You can download it here.)
These documents should be sent to: tomer@ticaret.edu.tr
The fee for each level: the Turkish lira equivalent of 300 USD (The fee must be paid as Turkish liras.)
The total fee: the Turkish lira equivalent of 1350 USD (The fee must be paid as Turkish liras.)
Since USD/TRY rates often change, in order to instantly check the equivalent Turkish lira for the USD, we take the “Döviz Satış (Forex Selling)” section on the website of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey as the basis.
