Schengen Visa Required Documents from Türkiye (2026)

All Schengen consulates in Türkiye use the EU harmonised list as a base.[1] Core items: signed form, passport (under 10 years old, 2 blank pages, 3 months validity after leaving), photo, travel reservation (no paid ticket needed), full civil registry extract, accommodation proof, 3-month bank statement and income proof, €30,000 travel medical insurance.[1][2] Employees add an employer letter and SGK records; company owners trade-registry and tax documents; students a YÖK certificate.[1]

General information, not legal advice. Only the consulate decides; no document guarantees a visa. Check the current official list before applying.

FAQ

Do I need a paid flight ticket?

No. A reservation or itinerary is enough; the Netherlands states a paid ticket is not required.
