If the student who wants to register has previously studied Turkish but doesn’t have a certificate to prove it, she/he can take a free Turkish Placement Test. After the exam, the student’s level is determined immediately and she/he gets placed in an appropriate class. Since this is an online exam, you can send an email to dilmerkezi.turkce@istanbul.edu.tr and request to attend it.
To make the process of getting a visa to enter Turkey easier, we can prepare a letter of invitation on behalf of the student who makes a request. The student submits this document to the consulate together with the other documents requested by the consulate.
The person who wants to apply for the acceptance letter, must come to our Beyazıt branch with a copy of his/her passport and two photos of the student. One day after the payment you can receive the letter.
