🇹🇷 Turkey · Insurance
Insurance in Turkey — health, travel, and digital-nomad cover, what is mandatory, and how to choose a plan.
Insurance planning in Türkiye usually starts with residence-permit health insurance, then adds private health, car, home or business cover depending on the move.
- Private health insurance is commonly used for first residence-permit applications when SGK/GSS coverage is not yet active.
- Policy terms should cover the full requested permit period and match Migration Management requirements.
- For employers, social-security and workplace obligations are separate from private insurance purchasing.
