Accommodation

1. “IYTE Yaşam Merkezi” which translates to “IYTE Life Center” in English is one of the best options for accommodation if you prefer to be close to Campus. It is a little far away from the city center but it is one of the best options for easier transportation to Campus. You can also accommodate here temporarly until you find a better option for yourselves. The capacity of the IYTE Yaşam Merkezi is very sufficient so there is no accommodation problem if you decide to stay there. You do not need to worry about it.

You can have an idea about what kind of place it is and learn about prices from official website of IYTE Yaşam merkezi with photos, which also has an English option.

2. Most of the incoming students prefer to rent a house together with their friends at the city center of Izmir (45 to 60 minutes from campus) or Urla which is a town approximately 20 minutes away from the campus. Our advice is to see the campus and the city center for yourselves and then to decide where you would like stay.

3.There may be students which are willling to have you as roommates at their houses in Izmir and Urla but this options is not precise, so you should also have a plan B. Relying on this option is risky.  If you prefer this option, we can communicate with these people for you before your arrival and ask them if their offer is still available.

Health Insurance and Residence Permit

Health Insurance

İzmir Institute of Technology (İYTE), do not cover any insurance expenses for incoming Erasmus students.

A health insurance valid in Turkey will be necessary for both your application to study at IYTE and for your residence permit in Izmir.

But it must be noted that not all of the health insurances that are valid in Turkey are usable for residence permit application. Be sure that your health insurance can be used for residence permit application before you arrive Turkey.

The best alternate option is to get General Social Security Insurance (SGK) before the residence permit application. The fee is approximately 50 TL/month. It is not a very good option for getting health services but it will work for getting a residence permit.

Residence Permit

You must apply for a residence permit within one month after your arrival. First step must be done electronically.

*Students will apply to the İzmir İl Göç İdaresi Müdürlüğü in Konak (Konak Mahallesi, 855. Sk. No:40, 35250 Konak/İzmir) with all of the documents listed below on the date and hour of their appointment given by the online application form.

  3. Four (4) pcs photos (must have been taken within the last 6 months, against a white background and biometric. Do not upload family, selfie, unrecognizable, non up-to-date or black and white photos into the system, otherwise residence permit document shall not be issued!)
  4. Declaration which states that financial capacity is to be provided sufficiently and regularly throughout the stay (Is declared in the Application Form. Directorate may request supporting documents.)
  5. Valid health insurance (Insurance period must cover the intended residence permit duration. One of the following document is considered as sufficient):

° E-signed/signed and stamped/sealed document to be obtained from provincial social security units which states that the foreigner is benefiting from the health services in Turkey within the scope of bilateral social security agreements

° E-signed/signed and stamped/sealed provision document received from Social Security Institution (Provision documents to be received from Social Security Institution must be in such a manner that they must be both supportive and cover family members.)

Please present signed and stamped/sealed original of your insurance policy during application! For extension applications, attach only approved (sealed, signed) copy of your policy into your application file.)

  1. Student certificate which shows that you are entitled actively to benefit from the rights of being a student (e-signed/signed and stamped/sealed document)
