Travel insurance is not compulsory in Turkey, but it’s a good idea to have one. Insurance is issued for each tourist and eliminates the need to pay for medical expenses for emergency medical care. Many insurance also cover things like theft, loss of baggage or even emergency repatriation. Some things that are not covered by insurance in Turkey include extreme sports and other high-risk activities, alcohol abuse, natural disasters and things like epidemics or terrorist attacks. There are several types of insurances like single-trip insurance, annual multi-trip insurance and backpacker insurance. On the lower end, insurance may cost from 30 to 100 USD, but it greatly varies.

To visit Turkey, there are no mandatory vaccination requirements, but there are diseases for the avoidance of which vaccinations are desirable:
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus (once every 10 years), influenza vaccination – seasonal, it is recommended to be carried out annually, hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever and rabies (if you intend to rest in the countryside, away from cities), yellow fever.

You should not drink tap water or things like unpasteurized milk. Stick to bottled water, water that’s been disinfected, carbonated drinks, coffee, tea and pasteurized milk. Food and drinks from street vendors also have high risk and should be avoided. When talking about exotic food, stay away from monkeys, bats or other similar wild animals. Stick to eating food that is cooked and is served hot and vegetables and fruits should all be either washed with clean water or peeled. Most restaurants serve quality food and drinks, but be wary when eating in budget restaurants.

Insects and animals are common in Turkey, especially outside major cities. To avoid insect bites, you should try to cover yourself as much as possible and use insect repellent. In hotels or other places of accommodation, you should always make sure there is enough ventilation. DEET is a useful repellent against ticks and mosquitoes. If you do get bitten, try to avoid scratching the bites and you should apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion. If you do a lot of outdoor activites, you should regularly check your body for tics. Try to avoid any stray or wild animals you may encounter. If you get bit by any animal, you should instantly wash your wound and go to the doctor. If you wake in a room with a bat, also seek medical care immediately.

1. Call the local partner of your insurance company. Her contacts can be found on the insurance policy.
2. Tell us in detail about the insured event and the symptoms accompanying your illness.
3. The local company representatives will find a suitable medical facility. If the clinic is far from you, ask what kind of transport you can use and whether the travel insurance company will pay for the trip later. For payment, keep all documents on travel expenses to the medical facility. These documents should reflect the cost and route (if possible).
4. Upon arrival, do not pay for any services other than those permitted by the partner company. Do not leave any documents at the reception.
5. Keep all records of the costs of buying drugs.
6. Do not contact any medical institution (and doctor) without the permission of the partner company. You will have to pay for such services yourself and there is a high chance that these costs will not be reimbursed by the insurance company.
