Proof of Finances
On the visa application form you
will have to state who is financing your stay in Turkey and you will need
to submit supporting documentation to verify this. An original bank statement
plus a photocopy showing your current financial standing should be sufficient.
If your parents are going to finance your trip, ask them to write a letter
stating that they are prepared to support you for the duration of your stay.
This should be addressed “To whom it may concern”, and will need
to state exactly how much money your parents will contribute to funding you
during your time away. The letter must be accompanied by an original bank
statement(s), which covers the specified amount.
Passport
Your passport must be valid for 1 year from the date of your entry into Turkey. So, if you start your semester in February 2008, your passport must be valid until February 2009. You must enter your passport number, expiry date and place of issue on your visa application form. Therefore, if your passport is not valid for the required amount of time, you will need to renew it BEFORE you apply for your visa.
Passport Photograph
Acceptance Letter from Your Partner University
In addition to your acceptance letter, you will need a document confirming your semester dates, so that the Embassy has a clear indication of when you will leave Turkey.
Application and Administration Fee
The application
fee is £85 and you will also have to pay a £5 administration fee.
(Both fees are subject to change.) Both fees must be paid in cash, or by postal
order, made payable to the "Turkish Consulate General." It is not
possible to pay with debit card, credit card or personal cheques.
Self-Addressed Envelope
A
self-addressed envelope is required so that the Consulate can return your
passport to you once your visa has been issued.
