Planning your treatment trip to Istanbul: a short checklist

Many patients travel to Istanbul for their treatment. A little planning makes the trip calmer and lets you focus on recovery.

Before you book

• Check passport validity and whether you need a visa for Türkiye.
• Share recent photos of your hair with the clinic so they can prepare an initial plan.
• Ask how many days you should stay. Many patients plan for at least three nights.

What to pack

• Button-up shirts and a loose, wide hat for the flight home
• A travel neck pillow for sleeping upright
• Any regular medication, with a list you can show the doctor

After you return home

Keep your aftercare instructions somewhere easy to find and save your clinic’s contact details on your phone. Follow-up photos at regular intervals help your team track progress.

Requirements change; please check official sources for visa and travel rules.
