What has changed? The most significant updates involve the strict enforcement of biometric photo standards and the mandatory presence of the applicant at our centers. Every application must now be supported by an electronically filled form that is signed in person during the appointment. These measures are designed to reduce errors and prevent the delays often caused by incomplete or inaccurate documentation.
Key Updates You Need to Know
- Enhanced Biometric Standards: Photos must be taken within the last six months and meet specific consulate dimensions to be accepted.
- Mandatory In-Person Submission: All applicants must appear in person at the London office or respective global centers to verify their identity.
- Authorized Insurance Requirements: Only travel health insurance policies issued directly at Voya Visa offices are recognized for sticker visa processing.
- Digital Form Compliance: Application forms must be completed electronically; handwritten forms are no longer accepted for the initial filing.

By choosing an authorized center like Voya Visa, you ensure that your application adheres to the latest 2026 regulations from day one. We invite you to book your appointment early to avoid the peak season rush and experience a seamless journey to Turkiye.
