Dental treatment in Istanbul for patients from the UK
Istanbul is about 4 hours from the UK on a direct flight, and no visa is needed for a tourist trip.
Getting to Istanbul
Turkish Airlines flies to Istanbul Airport (IST) from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh. Pegasus flies to Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) from Stansted and Manchester. The flight from London takes about 4 hours.
The clinic is on the European side of Istanbul, so IST is more convenient; the transfer from SAW takes longer.
Entering Türkiye
British citizens do not need a visa for tourist or business trips of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least 150 days from arrival and have at least one blank page. Holders of BNO and some other British passport types need a visa — check gov.uk.
