Your complete Türkiye medical travel checklist

1 Month Before

  • Finalize your treatment plan and secure your booking with the clinic.
  • Check your passport has at least 6 months of validity remaining.
  • Apply for a Turkish e-Visa if required by your nationality.
  • Purchase specialized Medical Travel Insurance.

2 Weeks Before

  • Stop taking blood-thinning medications (Aspirin, Ibuprofen) and supplements (Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginseng) as they increase bleeding risks.
  • Cease smoking and vaping completely. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and drastically increases the risk of tissue necrosis.
  • Confirm your flight details and share the itinerary with your clinic coordinator for airport transfers.

1 Week Before

  • Inform your bank you will be traveling to Turkiye to avoid card blocks.
  • Start packing loose, comfortable clothing.
  • Arrange for someone to pick you up from your home airport upon your return.
