4. GENERAL INFORMATION FOR THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS
4.1. Becoming An Erasmus Student In Beykent
Who can apply? How?
All students from partner Institutions’ departments can apply to their pertinent home student office for studying one
or two semesters at Beykent University; for a list of partners visit
http://www.beykent.edu.tr/WebProjects/Web/egitim.php?CategoryId=1191 .
Once selected by their home Institution, students should fill in the online Application Form displayed at
http://www.beykent.edu.tr/WebProjects/dosyalar/erasmus/12_06_2013_incoming-erasmus-students-applicationform-2013-2014.pdf and submit it for approval. Upon acceptance by Beykent, Erasmus paperwork begins.
Erasmus Documentation
Accepted students should complete the Learning Agreement (form LAG-1) in consultation with their home
coordinators, submit it and receive the approval of Beykent coordinators. It is essential that students possess a
completed LAG-1 in order to register as an Erasmus student. Changes to LAG-1 can be made using the form LAG-2
and is subject to the same approval procedure as LAG-1.4
4.2.
BEING AN ERASMUS STUDENT IN BEYKENT
a.) RESIDENCE PERMIT
When you enter Turkey with a student visa, you need to apply for a residence permit within 30 days latest (it may take
longer to actually get the permit but the application must bedone within this time limit).
The permit is issued by the Police and you first need to get an online appointment in order to apply. Please note that
you cannot leave Turkey before you receive your Residence permit. Otherwise you will need to pay a fine and your
visa will be cancelled. All formalities have to be carried out at the Istanbul Foreigners’ Police Department.
To get an appointment for your first application, visit:
http://yabancilar.iem.gov.tr/.
The following documents are needed:
Declaration of residence permit document should be filled and printed in color, 6 photographs, paper indicating that
you are a student of Beykent University (is given by IRO).
Extension
If you already have a residence permit, you will have to extend it before it expires.
For extension, you shouldget certain documents including certificate of education taken from the Student Affairs after
you complete your registration for the respective
7
semester. Finally you will have to go to the local police station (you might want check with our Office about which one
you should visit. )
* Also please do not go out of the country unless you got your residence permit!
B) HEALTH INSURANCE
Starting in Fall 2014 Turkish authorities will ask for a proof of minimal health insurance coverage to issue student
residence permits. Beykent University does not provide incoming students with insurance cover. Students must
have health insurance of their own which is valid in Turkey.
The minimal coverage requirements are announced as:
Contracted Institutions
Coverage
Limit
Contribution
of Coverage
Inpatient
Unlimited
None

Outpatient 2,000 TL
40%
Diagnosis
&
Treatment
Non Contracted Institutions
Limit of Coverage
Contribution
20,000 TL
20%
2,000 TL
40%
You can also buy such an insurance policy while in Turkey through various insurance companies. If you are bringing
your own health insurance from your home country or if you have an insurance policy that you/your home institution
bought outside of Turkey you should show written certification in Turkish that your coverage is sufficient. This
document is required for your residence permit application. In order to get this certificate;

If your insurance company has a local branch/agent operating in Turkey, they can provide you the
certification letter in Turkish. Please check before coming to Turkey whether this applies to you. The
certification should have the following statement:
"İşbu poliçe 6/6/2014 tarih ve 9 sayılı İkamet İzni Taleplerinde Yaptırılacak Özel Sağlık Sigortalarına İlişkin Genelge'de
belirlenen asgari teminat yapısını kapsamaktadır."
It states that your insurance policy is in compliance with the minimal requirements of the mandate for obtaining
residence permits in Turkey.
If you cannot provide this certification you will need to buy health insurance while in Turkey from an insurance
company that operates in Turkey and sells health insurance policies for non-Turkish citizens. Otherwise you will not
be able to obtain a residence permit. If you cannot obtain a residence permit during your exchange period you will
pay a fine on your way out of Turkey and legal authorities can deport you
We hope that you are working with an insurance company who has a local agent in
Turkey. Here is a list of insurance companies operating in Turkey: http://www.tsb.org.tr/non--‐life--‐
companies.aspx?pageID=965
