All foreign students studying in our country are subject to general health insurance registration procedures if they submit a written request to the Social Security Provincial Directorate/Social Security Center within three months from the date of their first registration to the schools they study.

Students who registered for the first time after 29/5/2013 will be provided with a one-year general health insurance as of the day following the written request date if they apply to the provincial social security directorate/social security center where the schools they study are located within three months of their first registration date with a request petition and a student certificate showing the first registration date of the schools they study. Foreign students who are registered for general health insurance in this way must pay the general health insurance premium calculated on the basis of 30 days of one-third of the daily earnings lower limit based on premium determined in accordance with Article 82 of the Law (this amount is approximately 810.00 TL per month for 2024).
