Option 2:
If there is no contract, you must have health
insurance.
The health insurance you will purchase from
abroad must have a branch of your insurance company in the country and after it
is approved at this branch, you must submit it to the
Izmir Provincial Directorate of Immigration Administration.
Option 3
You can get insurance policies from various
insurance companies during your stay in Turkey.
