Please tell me, I plan to study Turkish in Turkey. I want to open a student visa. How can I find out what documents are required of me? How problematic is it to receive such a visa?

This visa is possible, but difficult. Please note that in order to obtain a student visa, you must pay in advance for language courses.

Required documents:

  • Invitation from the school or training center, confirmed by financial documents about payment.
  • Copy of passport validity of at least 3 months from the day of the end of the trip.)
  • An invitation from Turkey (from a Turkish citizen) notarized in the original or hotel reservation for the entire period of stay. Please be more careful with the invitations. If a representative of the opposite sex does it to you, this will usually cause additional questions from the visa officer, and the probability of refusing a student visa will greatly increase.
  • Two color photos 3x4.
  • Certificate of criminal record (issued by the GUVD).
  • Extract from the home book / certificate of registration from the housing and communal services.
  • Surety from 2 people from Russia (do not need to verify, most importantly, people guarantee that you will return).
  • Bank account statement (at the rate of 50-70 dollars for the day of stay).

Address of the Consulate of Turkey: Okskva, 7th Rostovsky pereulok 12.

Phones: (495) 246-00-09, 246-00-10.
