Unfortunately you won't find a policy for Turkish residents apart from going to an agent. We use Dinah upstairs next to Macdonald's.
Don't expect a policy with missed departure and lost luggage though.
Policies are only for medical treatment.
I've heard of cases where people living in Turkey have used a UK policy and come unstuck.
I take an annual policy then I'm covered for medical care when I go to the UK as well as abroad.

There are world nomad policies that cover Turkey but very expensive.

Hi Linda thank you for info i literally just want it for the medical side of things...i guess im going to have to phone my insurance company and get them to extend my existing policy... My policy is an annual one but only covers 90 days at a time...

Is this to use in Turkey or are you going to another country?
