Study in Turkey for Saudi Arabian Students

Turkey hosts more than 200 universities with modern campuses and stands at the unique crossroads of Europe and Asia, making it an outstanding destination for international students. For Saudi Arabia students, established state universities (Bogazici, METU, ITU, Hacettepe, Ankara University) and world-class foundation (private) universities (Koc, Sabanci, Bilkent) offer programs in both English and Turkish.

The most popular fields among Saudi Arabia students include Medicine, Engineering, Business Administration, Dentistry, Law and Architecture. Umar Egitim helps you identify the most suitable option among 50+ partner universities according to your target program and budget, and supports you throughout the entire application process from start to finish.

Students who are Saudi Arabia citizens require a student visa (D-3) to study in Turkey. The process is completed in three steps: 1) Obtain an official acceptance letter from your university, 2) Apply for a visa at the nearest Turkish Consulate (passport, acceptance letter, biometric photo, visa fee), 3) Enter Turkey after visa approval.

It is mandatory to apply for a residence permit within the first 30 days of arrival in Turkey. Umar Egitim provides Saudi Arabia students with end-to-end support throughout the entire visa process — from the consulate appointment to obtaining the residence permit. The average visa processing time is 2 to 4 weeks.
