The Health Tourism Documentation Guide for Intermediary Institutions in Turkey (2025)

Why This Matters

Health tourism in Turkey is booming — and your business deserves a share of this growing international market. But before you can serve international patients legally and profitably, there’s one thing you must have:

👉 The Health Tourism Authorization Certificate.

This certificate is non-negotiable for intermediary institutions aiming to legally operate in the sector. It's not just a regulatory requirement — it's your passport to credibility, patient trust, and global visibility.

In this post, we’ll show you exactly what documents you need and how to handle them right — so you don’t waste time, risk rejection, or lose business to better-prepared competitors.


The 2025 Checklist: What You Must Submit

Here’s the full list of required documents, simplified for action.

✅ 1. HealthTürkiye Portal Registration

Prove your company is listed and active on Turkey’s official health tourism portal.

✅ 2. Application Letter

Include your authorized rep’s name, contact info, and company bank details.

✅ 3. Travel Agency License or Service Agreement

If you're a licensed travel agency — include the certificate.
If not — provide a service contract with one.

✅ 4. Turkish Trade Registry Gazette

Clearly show your capital structure, shareholders, and that health tourism is your registered business activity.

✅ 5. Signature Circular + Trade Registry Certificate

Prove who has authority to sign on behalf of the company.

✅ 6. Previous Year Balance Sheet

Must be CPA-approved. Must be accurate. Outdated = rejected.

✅ 7. Call Center Agreement (If Outsourced)

If you outsource your call center, show the contract.

✅ 8. Staffing Proof (If In-House Call Center)

Provide job contracts for at least two call center staff.
They must be employed specifically for health tourism.

✅ 9. Foreign Language Qualification for Team Lead

Your main staff contact must meet one of the following:

  • YDS (≥65 points) or equivalent international exam,

  • B2 Level Certificate (European Language Portfolio),

  • Academic Proof (Assoc. Prof. or related Bachelor’s Degree).


Why Most Applicants Fail

They don’t prepare properly.
They miss deadlines.
They assume “close enough” is good enough.

Don’t let this be your company.
Applications with missing or inaccurate documents are rejected — costing you months of delay, lost revenue, and a damaged brand image.
