INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS APPLYING FROM ABROAD FOR TURKISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION

Candidates who plan to enroll in an undergraduate, master's, or doctoral program at Hitit University and intend to attend Turkish language courses for this purpose must first visit the Hitit University International Office website and submit an application for student admission.

Candidates abroad who wish to attend Hitit University Turkish Language Teaching Application and Research Center (HİTİT-TÖMER) courses solely for the purpose of learning Turkish should take the following information into consideration.

Course Applications and Start Dates

• Course registration announcements, registration dates, and all other current information are published on the official HİTİT-TÖMER website: https://hitit.edu.tr/tr/tomer
• Turkish language courses generally begin at the beginner (basic) level at the beginning of October, in accordance with the academic calendar.
• Once the minimum number of students required to open a course has been reached, the confirmed course start date will also be announced on the official website.

Language Visa Application Process

After the confirmed course registration dates have been announced, candidates who wish to apply for a language visa for Turkish language education in their home country may follow the process below:

1. Upon request, HİTİT-TÖMER may issue and send a Registration Information Letter on behalf of the candidate. The candidate may submit this letter to the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Türkiye or other relevant authorities in their country.
2. If required by the competent authorities, the candidate may pay the course fee and request a Definitive Course Registration Certificate.
3. The issued Course Registration Certificate may be submitted again to the relevant authority together with the previously submitted Registration Information Letter.
4. Candidates applying for a language visa must take into consideration the time required to obtain an appointment at the consulate and for the relevant consulate to evaluate and finalize the visa application. Therefore, candidates are strongly advised to begin the visa process as early as possible to avoid arriving late for classes or missing the course start date.

Important Note

Documents issued by HİTİT-TÖMER only confirm the candidate's registration status for the Turkish language course. These documents do not guarantee the issuance of a visa. The evaluation and decision regarding visa applications are entirely under the authority of the relevant diplomatic missions of the Republic of Türkiye.

Important Considerations

Candidates should carefully consider the following:

• The entire language visa application process is the responsibility of the candidate.
• Since obtaining a consular appointment, processing the application, and finalizing the visa may take some time, candidates are strongly advised to start the visa process as early as possible.
• Payment of the course fee does not guarantee that a visa will be issued.
• If the visa application is rejected or the candidate is unable to travel to Türkiye, the course fee already paid will not be refunded.
• Candidates are advised to take these conditions into consideration before submitting their visa application.
