Why NOVAVIZA?
This is one of the most common questions that challenges the minds of our audience. Whenever someone plans to receive a service from an organization, they naturally start comparing the available institutions and their options. This is completely normal and stems from the human drive for rationality and smart decision-making.
In these mental comparisons to choose a service provider, the institution that wins is the one that manages to convince the decision-maker—through its plans and proposals—that the benefits far outweigh the costs.
Through this article, NOVAVIZA aims to present its plans and policies in a way that sets it apart from its competitors in the eyes of its audience.
Stay with us.
What is NOVAVIZA?
NOVAVIZA is the name of a team made up of experienced and successful individuals, with a mission to simplify the migration process for Iranian students at all academic levels (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD) who wish to continue their studies in Turkey. Iranian students, regardless of age or field of study, can nurture the idea of studying in Turkey and count on NOVAVIZA to help make that dream a reality.
Since 2019, the NOVAVIZA team has been fully committed to supporting Iranian students eager to migrate to Turkey, and as of November 2024, has successfully secured admission for over 600 students into top public and private universities in Turkey.
Undoubtedly, these students have not only benefited from access to modern education systems but have also had the chance to begin a fresh, healthy life in a safe and secure country.
We Are a Family!
NOVAVIZA initially began its operations by offering university admissions solely at the undergraduate level and in a limited number of fields. At that time, services such as visa processing, document translation, or credential evaluation were beyond the scope of what NOVAVIZA —still a small team—could offer. Interestingly, all of NOVAVIZA’s early operations were managed from within Turkey.
However, thanks to the dedication of its founders and the trust of students aspiring to study abroad, NOVAVIZA gradually grew into a family—one that has expanded both in Iran and Turkey. Today, NOVAVIZA’s team is involved in every step of the student migration journey. This growth has allowed the scope of services to go far beyond just admissions; with the support of skilled legal advisors and consultants, NOVAVIZA now also handles the process of obtaining student visas for Turkey.
The ultimate goal of the NOVAVIZA family is to turn the often challenging journey of academic migration into an achievable and realistic path for all Iranian students.
Is NOVAVIZA a Law Firm?
The issuance of a visa to a foreign national is influenced by diplomatic relations between governments and is governed by the host country’s internal laws or international treaties ratified by its legislative body. Applying for a student visa in Turkey requires a clear understanding of certain local legal frameworks as well as sufficient legal knowledge to correctly initiate the visa application process through the Turkish embassy.
In the early stages of NOVAVIZA, each Iranian student had to handle their visa procedures individually. But as the NOVAVIZA family expanded and legal experts joined the team, that burden was lifted from students and their families. Today, legal support is an integral part of NOVAVIZA’s services.
One of the key offerings of NOVAVIZA’s legal team is the review and translation of students’ academic records according to Turkish university standards. Additionally, by staying up-to-date on both Iranian legal changes and Turkish regulations, the legal team assesses military service obligations and provides guidance on how to migrate for education without completing mandatory military service.
And that’s not all—the legal support extends to everything from writing formal letters to universities to handling exemptions from military service in Turkey, ensuring a comprehensive and seamless experience for students.
The Other Side of the Coin
The continuous devaluation of the Iranian Rial has created a fear among Iranian students and their families that studying abroad is now a dream out of reach due to its high costs. But the NOVAVIZA family is here to assure Iranian students that, for a vast majority of them, the costs of academic migration can still be entirely reasonable and in line with their financial realities.
All steps of the student migration process are handled directly by NOVAVIZA’s team. At no point are tasks outsourced to external immigration or legal firms—meaning that students won’t have to deal with the added costs that typically come with such third-party services. As a result, the overall expenses for students choosing NOVAVIZA are significantly lower than what they might experience with competing institutions.
Students currently studying in Turkey through NOVAVIZA often consider personal living expenses to be the highest cost of their migration journey, viewing the fees paid to NOVAVIZA as minimal in comparison.
By streamlining and accelerating the migration process, the NOVAVIZA team helps families save both time and money—especially those who are already working hard to support their children.
Since NOVAVIZA is still in its first decade of operation, the team’s main strategy is to attract more and more students in order to secure long-term sustainability. With pride, NOVAVIZA emphasizes that profit is not its top priority at this stage.
One of the unique services offered exclusively by NOVAVIZA is providing cost-saving strategies to help Iranian students minimize their living expenses in Turkey. This invaluable guidance is the result of years of first-hand experience by NOVAVIZA family members living in Turkey and is offered free of charge through the institution’s advisors and student supporters.
A Student’s Reputation Lies in Their Diploma!
One of the most important factors prospective students consider when applying to universities abroad is the reputation of the institution. A university’s prestige—shaped by the expertise of its faculty, its academic history, research output, and the quality of student services—directly influences the value of its degrees.
Fully aware of this, the NOVAVIZA team prioritizes university recommendations based on academic credibility, ensuring that Iranian students are guided toward institutions in Turkey with strong academic reputations.
The universities ultimately recommended by NOVAVIZA award degrees that are widely recognized and respected across Eurasia and Europe. Graduates of these institutions who wish to continue their studies in European countries will not be required to revalidate their degrees or repeat prior academic levels in the new country.
Moreover, Iranian students interested in studying in Turkey don’t need to have perfect grades from their previous universities. They can confidently pursue their education in Turkey without worrying about past academic records. To further ease the process, NOVAVIZA makes sure that priority is given to universities in Turkey that offer English-language programs—removing the burden of learning Turkish for students and enabling them to secure admission with just a basic understanding of English.
This significantly increases their chances of studying in Turkey, making academic migration not only possible but practical.
If You Didn’t Know, Now You Do!
Of course, learning the beautiful Turkish language can make life much easier for Iranian students in Turkey. But if you’ve been under the impression that learning Turkish is an absolute requirement for studying there, it’s time to change that mindset. NOVAVIZA only recommends universities where classes are offered in both Turkish and English—or better yet, where the university itself takes responsibility for teaching English in a separate preparatory program before the student begins their main academic studies.
In these cases, students don’t even need to have a strong command of English!
However, if you’re still eager to learn Turkish, NOVAVIZA encourages you to leave that to us too. That’s right—anticipating the needs of students planning to study in Turkey, NOVAVIZA has partnered with Iranian graduates in Turkish Language and Literature. These educators, who are deeply fluent in the language and fully understand the learning needs of Iranian students, offer high-quality instruction at a fraction of the cost charged by typical language institutes.
These instructors not only teach Turkish but also share their own experiences and tips for passing official Turkish language exams—helping students obtain the certification they need with confidence.
The Sky Isn’t the Same Everywhere!
Living in any new society comes with the need to learn its laws and regulations. But beyond the legal framework, every newcomer must also learn the customs, norms, and social expectations of that society in order to truly adapt and thrive.
Many who have migrated abroad will tell you that understanding the social culture and unspoken rules can be time-consuming—or even seem impossible. That’s why the NOVAVIZA team, drawing on years of first-hand experience living in Turkey, has established a special group called “Hamyarān” (Support Partners). These individuals operate outside the academic environment and are dedicated to helping Iranian students adjust to everyday life in Turkey.
These support partners assist students with everything from housing and transportation to helping them settle into Turkish society. They guide students on how to choose the best neighborhoods to live in, how to find suitable housing or hotels, how to navigate public transportation, and even where to find educational, recreational, and wellness centers.
Thanks to the Hamyarān, Iranian students never have to feel lost or out of place while living in Turkey.
