The Turkey (Türkiye) Education Visa covers Indian students, researchers, interns (including AIESEC/IAESTE programmes) and Turkish-language-course participants. It is a sticker visa lodged through a Turkey Visa Application Centre run by VFS Global on behalf of the Embassy/Consulate General of Türkiye. The cornerstone is an acceptance/enrolment letter from a Turkish university or institution (for Turkish universities, the acceptance letter must carry the YÖKSİS eight-character ID number), supported by educational documents, a Police Clearance Certificate, financials proving you can support long-term study, and proof of ties to India. The visa fee is ₹5,400 (single entry) plus a VFS/Türkiye Visa Application service fee. Education visas can take longer to conclude, so apply early — at least 20 working days before departure, within the 60-day advance window. (Note: this visa authorises study, not employment.)
What it costs
Paid directly to Turkey / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 9 Jun 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
All fees are in INR, per applicant, and non-refundable regardless of the outcome. The total payable is the visa fee PLUS the Türkiye Visa Application (VFS service) fee, which varies by the validity you request: 3-month single entry ≈ INR 5,400 + 12,720; 6-month single entry ≈ INR 5,400 + 14,840; 6-month multiple entry (business only) ≈ INR 16,200 + 14,840; 12-month multiple entry (business only) ≈ INR 16,200 + 16,960. At appointment booking, INR 6,890 of the total is charged online; the balance is paid at the VFS office by cash, UPI or POS (credit/debit card). Multiple-entry visas are granted only after the Turkish Mission verifies eligibility. Fees are set by the Türkiye Mission and VFS and are subject to change — confirm the current amount on the VFS Global Türkiye India website before paying.

The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Turkey file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.

Frequently asked
An acceptance/enrolment letter from your Turkish university or institution. For Turkish universities it must include the YÖKSİS eight-character ID number (XXX-XXX-XX). It is supported by your educational documents, a Police Clearance Certificate, financials and proof of ties to India.
Yes. The education visa covers students, researchers, interns (including AIESEC/IAESTE programmes) and Turkish-language-course participants. Internships need the AIESEC/IAESTE letters; language courses need two reference persons' details in your covering letter.
A minimum personal bank balance of around ₹2 lakh per person on a 6-month statement, but you must specifically prove your finances are sufficient for long-term study and living costs in Türkiye, which are evaluated against the local cost of living. A sponsor can support you with a sponsorship letter and income proof.
Education visas can take longer to conclude, so apply at least 20 working days before departure, within the maximum 60-day advance window. Get your acceptance letter and Police Clearance Certificate ready well in advance.
No. The education visa authorises study, research, internship or language study — not employment. Working in Türkiye requires a separate work permit, which SureshotVisa does not provide.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Turkey rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
