International visas • Preparation and follow-up service
The UK visa from Turkey is requested online through the UK government website, then completed with fingerprinting at a TLScontact center. At OYA Tourism we help you fill in the application, prepare your file, arrange translations and bookings, and stay with you until a decision is issued.
Why apply through OYA?
With this type of visa, your entire file is examined: an accurate form, consistent documents, and bookings that match your travel plan. That is why we prepare your UK visa file with you properly from the start and book your appointment, and you attend the biometrics or interview yourself.
OYA Tourism is a private travel agency, not a government body. Our service fee is modest, and we explain it to you separately from the official fees before we start; the final decision rests with the competent authority alone.
Turkish citizens and most non-Gulf Arab nationalities need a Standard Visitor visa to enter the UK, and the ETA electronic travel authorisation does not cover Turkish passport holders. The visa allows a stay of up to 6 months per visit for tourism, visiting family or short business trips.
The steps begin with filling in the application on the GOV.UK website and paying the fee, then attending a biometrics appointment at one of the TLScontact centers in Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir according to the latest announcements. A decision is usually issued about 3 weeks after the biometrics, with paid priority services for those who need a faster decision.
The strength of the file lies in the details here: six months of bank statements, proof of employment, business activity or study, and a clear travel plan. Any document not in English needs a certified translation, and we arrange the translations and review the consistency of the file before you apply. The decision ultimately rests with the UK Home Office.
