Okay toBoard

Visa regulations

Visa rules vary by citizenship. Students from Syria, Nigeria and Armenia must apply in person at a TRNC embassy or consulate. Others may receive a 60–90 day visa at the airport, but some travelers still need an OK TO BOARD document or a Turkish transit visa.

What is OK TO BOARD?

OK TO BOARD is an alternative to a traditional student transit visa. It is a stamp or document that allows you to board your flight. It is faster for many students and is issued after tuition is paid and your place is secured.

Required documents and airline

You typically need a student certificate or unconditional acceptance letter, passport, return ticket, and original academic documents. Turkish Airlines is the official carrier for this service.

Our service
