Step-by-step application process (for Indonesian applicants)

1. Prepare application documents

Gather certified originals and translated copies (English or Turkish) of:

• High school diploma (or proof of expected graduation)
• Complete transcript of grades
• Copy of valid passport
• Motivation letter (recommended)
• Letters of recommendation (recommended)
• Language proficiency certificate (TOEFL/PTE for English; TÖMER/Yunus Emre C1 for Turkish) — or plan to take the university’s internal placement test if you don’t have a certificate yet

Tip for recruiters: keep scanned PDFs and verified translations in your CRM to speed future applications.

2. Complete the online application

Undergraduate and graduate applicants submit through KHAS’s online portals. Admissions staff and academics review applications and determine interview needs, scholarship eligibility, and final decisions. Ensure forms are filled accurately with applicant personal data and academic history.

3. Receive conditional acceptance and pay deposit

If admitted, the applicant will receive a conditional acceptance letter outlining scholarships and conditions. To convert the conditional offer to official admission, a $250 deposit is required (this is deducted from tuition and refundable for full scholarship awardees).

4. Obtain official admission letter and apply for a student visa

After deposit confirmation, KHAS issues the official admissions letter. Indonesian applicants use that letter to apply for a Turkiye student visa at the Turkish Embassy/Consulate in Indonesia.

5. Travel and final registration

Arrive in Turkiye with a valid student visa. Complete in-person registration at Kadir Has University to finalize enrollment.

Required documents checklist — ready-to-use for recruiters and admissions teams

Use this checklist to audit candidate files before submission:

Essential documents:

Language requirements and preparatory programs

English programs typically require TOEFL iBT ≥72, or PTE Academic ≥59 (or equivalent). Turkish programs typically require TÖMER C1 or Yunus Emre Institute C1. Applicants without certificates can sit for KHAS internal language exams prior to starting courses and may be placed into preparatory language programs.

For recruitment teams: advertise both the main program and available preparatory pathway in campaign materials. Many Indonesian applicants prefer programs that offer preparatory language support.

Scholarships, tuition and financial planning

Tution: undergraduate programs generally start at around $5,500 annually; professional programs may reach up to $20,000.

Scholarships: KHAS offers merit-based scholarship packages for international students, with discounts up to 65% on tuition fees.

Deposit: the $250 deposit secures the placement and is deducted from the final tuition invoice (refundable under specific scholarship conditions).

Advice for admissions and HR teams: integrate scholarship eligibility criteria into your applicant scoring model so high-potential candidates are fast-tracked for interviews and funding discussions.

Application timeline and deadlines (recommended timeline for Indonesian applicants)

Fall intake (recommended application window): May — end of August
Spring intake: October — December
Start recruitment activities at least 6–9 months before preferred intake to secure scholarships and visa processing time.

Recruiter action plan:

• Month 3–1 before intake: follow up for conditional offers, deposits, and visa documentation
• Final month: assist with student arrival logistics and orientation planning

Student visa and arrival to Turkiye

After paying the deposit and receiving the official admissions letter, Indonesian students must apply at the appropriate Turkish mission in Indonesia for a long-term student visa.
