# Study in Turkey for Indian Students: Visa, NMC Rules & Fees

## How can an Indian student study in Turkey?

Indian students get a sticker visa from a Turkish embassy or consulate; the e-visa is for tourism and commerce only. After arrival you apply for the student residence permit on e-İkamet. For medicine, India's National Medical Commission FMGL Regulations 2021 require a course of at least 54 months, a 12-month internship in the same institution and English as the medium of instruction. Applying through Taktik is free.

> **Medicine: check every NMC condition** Besides course length and internship, the NMC regulations also require registration with the licensing body of the country of study and a 12-month supervised internship in India. Before choosing, compare each condition with that university's programme.

### Where do I get a Turkish study visa in India?

According to the Turkish Embassy in New Delhi, the e-visa is only for tourism or commerce and only for holders of a valid Schengen, US, UK or Irish visa or residence permit. For study you need a sticker visa from the embassy or a consulate.

### What do the NMC rules say about MBBS/MD in Turkey?

Under the FMGL Regulations 2021: a course of at least 54 months, a 12-month internship in the same institution, English-medium teaching, registration with the licensing body of the country of study, a 12-month supervised internship in India, and passing NExT or another mandated test. Per the NMC FAQ, any online period is made up with compensation classes.

### How is my degree recognised in India?

The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) handles foreign-degree equivalence, online only; for medicine the NMC regulations apply separately.

### What is the Türkiye Bursları scholarship, and does Taktik apply for it?

It is the Turkish government scholarship, and you apply for it free and directly on the official site turkiyeburslari.gov.tr. The 2026 call ran from 10 January to 20 February 2026; the next dates are not yet published there. Taktik does not apply for this scholarship; we help with private universities, which have their own scholarships and discounts.

### Does applying through Taktik cost anything?

No. Advice and applying through Taktik are free. You pay tuition and university fees directly to the university, and no money is paid into a personal account.

### Who decides on admission?

The university; admission is not guaranteed. An advisor helps you choose universities that fit your academic record and language certificate and makes sure your file is sent complete and correct.
