About the United Kingdom (UK) Visa

UK applications are made online, followed by biometrics at a visa application centre. Unlike Schengen, travel health insurance is not a mandatory application requirement; instead, the purpose of your visit and your intention to return are expected to be supported by documents.

That is why documents showing your financial situation, your employment or student status and your ties to Türkiye are at the centre of a UK file.

Visa Types

  • Tourist visits
  • Business visits and meetings
  • Family and friend visits
  • Short-term study and course visits
