Dear Student,

You have embarked on an exciting journey to realize your dreams of studying abroad. In this journey, the visa is one of the most important steps. Visa rejection can affect all your plans. Therefore, it is very important to prepare meticulously to avoid making mistakes in your visa application and minimize the risk of rejection. The visa application process varies from country to country and generally takes at least 1 month. Do not delay your visa application. Make your plan according to this period.

ISSA Edu in Turkeyis here to help you overcome your visa concerns and achieve your dreams.

⚠️Reasons for Visa Rejection:

Visa rejection can occur for various reasons. The most common reasons are:

1-Insufficient or Incorrect Documents: Make sure you have prepared all the required documents for your visa application completely and correctly. Make sure that each document is up-to-date and certified, and that Turkish or English translations are notarized. The required documents may vary depending on the type of visa, so check the list of required documents before applying.

2-Financial Insufficiency:It is important to provide documents that show you have enough financial means to cover your education and living expenses in Turkey. You need to prepare documents such as strong bank account statements, scholarship documents if any, or sponsorship documents.

3-Security Concerns:If you have a history of visa violations or illegal activities that may result in visa rejection, it may be difficult to obtain a visa.

⚠️Things to Consider When Applying for a Visa:

1-Documents:Prepare them completely and correctly.

2-Official Acceptance Letter:The official acceptance letter that the university will send you after you pay the deposit.

3-Visa Application Form:Fill it out carefully and without errors.

4-Visa Appointment:Make an appointment for your visa application.

5-Visa Interview:Go in clean, tidy and formal clothes, and give clear and concise answers to the questions. The consulate must be convinced of your desire to study in Turkey.

⚠️Visa is a Personal Process:

As ISSA Edu in Turkey, we cannot provide direct support for obtaining a visa. The visa is a personal process and the evaluation of your visa application is entirely at the discretion of the consulate officials. It is the student's sole responsibility to obtain a visa.

Visa Consultancy Service:

We strongly recommend that you contact professional firms and tourism agencies that provide visa consultancy services that can facilitate the visa application process for you and help you increase your chances of getting a visa.

⚠️To Reduce the Risk of Visa Rejection:

✔️Get your Official Acceptance Letter by paying your deposit without delay.

✔️If your diploma grade is high and you have an exam result document (YÖS, SAT etc.), prepare it as well. These two documents will greatly increase your chances of getting a visa.

✔️It is important to contact the Turkish Consulate at the beginning and get detailed information about the necessary conditions and documents. You can visit the consulate's website, get information by e-mail or phone.

✔️Fill out the visa application form carefully and without errors.

✔️Prepare all the required documents completely and correctly.

✔️Make sure your documents are up-to-date and certified.

✔️Check the list of required documents according to the type of visa.

✔️Prepare strong documents showing your financial situation.

✔️Go to the visa interview in formal clothes and give clear and concise answers to the questions.

✔️The consulate must be convinced that you are applying for a visa only to study in Turkey. If you feel that you are coming to Turkey only to visit, seek asylum or work in your visa application, you may not be able to get a visa. The Education Visa is only given to those who want to study in Turkey

Visa Rejection: What to Do Next

Dear Student,

Unfortunately, in some countries, if the Consulate believes that you are not applying for a visa with the intention of really studying in Turkey but only for the purpose of traveling, seeking asylum or working, your visa will be rejected.

What to Do After Visa Rejection:

1. Understand the Reason for Rejection:

Carefully review your visa rejection document and try to understand the reason for rejection.

🔷If you can understand the reason, you will have a better chance of not repeating the same mistake in your next application.

🔷If you cannot understand the reason for rejection, you can consult with official authorities or visa consultancy firms.

2. Complete Your Deficiencies:

🔷Complete your deficiencies according to the reason for rejection.

🔷Add the required documents or update your existing documents.

🔷Make sure your documents are complete, up-to-date and accurate.

Be sure to support your application for an education visa in Turkey with your documents and explanatory text.

3. Reapply:

You can reapply for a visa after completing your deficiencies.

🔷However, it may also be beneficial to wait a little longer and strengthen your file even more. Next year, you can get a new acceptance letter from the university without paying a deposit again and repeat your visa application more strongly.

🔷During this period, it is important to follow the current information about visas and take the necessary steps to eliminate your deficiencies.

🔷The consulate must be convinced that you are applying for a visa only to study in Turkey.

4. Deposit Refund:

If your visa is rejected, you may not be able to get a refund of the deposit you paid to the university.

🔷Some universities may refund the deposit to those who can document the visa rejection and meet certain conditions.

🔷Carefully review your acceptance letter and learn the deposit refund terms.

🔷Deposit refund terms may vary depending on the university. All details are included in your acceptance letter. Be sure to read your acceptance letter carefully.

5. Contact the University Regarding the Deposit:

It is important to contact your university directly for a deposit refund.

🔷If you do not prefer a deposit refund, all universities accept that your acceptance letter will be updated next year and you will reapply for a visa. This may be the best approach. Next year, you can get a new acceptance letter from the University without paying a deposit again and repeat your visa application more strongly.

🔷If you still want to get a refund of the deposit, prepare the necessary documents according to the refund terms in your acceptance letter and submit them to the university.

🔷As ISSA Edu in Turkey, we can help you prepare the necessary documents for a deposit refund.

🔷However, we would like to state that the transaction will be carried out in accordance with the university's refund policy and procedures and that we have no direct authority in this matter. As an agency, we cannot be of further assistance in this regard.

☑️Additional Recommendations:

✔️It may be beneficial to wait a while and strengthen your file even more before reapplying after a visa rejection.

✔️You can also get help from visa consultancy firms after visa rejection.

✔️You must convince the Consulate that you are applying for a visa only to study in Turkey.

To update your acceptance letter for the next term, please contact us and repeat your visa application with the updated acceptance letter next year.
