To expedite the visa application process, we highly recommend students, during the submission of the admission application, upload passports and other requisite documents in PDF format with exceptional clarity. This proactive step will facilitate the swift transmission of student status to the designated department, ensuring a faster visa evaluation and decision-making process.

We appreciate your meticulous attention to this matter and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you to North Cyprus.
