Not answered here? Message us and a coordinator will reply within one working day.

Do I need a visa?

UK passport holders can currently enter Turkey without a visa for short stays. We confirm current rules when you book.

How do I pay?

GBP bank transfer or card; a deposit secures your dates and the balance is paid before surgery.

What should I bring?

Loose clothing, flat shoes, your medication list and any previous scans. We send a full checklist.

Can someone come with me?

Yes — companions are welcome and can stay in your hotel and hospital room.

Will my phone work?

Yes; UK roaming works in Turkey, and your coordinator is on WhatsApp.

Is travel insurance needed?

Yes — we recommend a policy that covers elective surgery abroad.
