Touristic Conveniences for Foreign Vehicles

1. 常见问题： Who is eligible to import a vehicle from abroad for touristic purposes?پاسخ: As per the Council of Ministers Decision dated 29/9/2009, No. 2009/15481, individuals residing outside Turkey’s Customs Territory can temporarily import vehicles registered in their name at their place of residence for touristic purposes.
2. 常见问题： What defines a resident abroad?پاسخ: A resident abroad typically has been outside Turkey for at least 185 days in the past year, counting back from the date they wish to enter Turkey.
3. 常见问题： Is staying abroad for 185 days sufficient to be considered a resident abroad?پاسخ: No. The individual must have a residence abroad. Turkish citizens working on ships, temporarily at construction sites, or staying in hotels, despite being abroad for 185 days in the last year, are not considered residents abroad as they don’t have an established residence there.
4. 常见问题： How is the 185-day period calculated?پاسخ: The 185-day period for residing abroad is calculated using a program that checks passport entry and exit records from the General Directorate of Security. The program calculates the duration of stay in and outside of Turkey for the past year (365 days) from the date of entry into Turkey. For example, for someone entering Turkey at Kapıkule Border Gate on 07.03.2023, the period from 07.03.2022 to 07.03.2023 is considered. The person is deemed a resident abroad if they have stayed more than 185 days abroad. This calculation includes all entries and exits by sea, air, land, or rail, with or without a vehicle. The table below illustrates that the 185 days abroad need not be continuous.

5. 常见问题： How can I access my entry and exit information for dormitories?پاسخ: Turkish citizens can check their entry and exit records using their Turkish passports at turkiye.gov.tr. Additionally, individuals can calculate their time spent abroad based on the entry and exit dates in their passports.
6. 常见问题： Can retirees living abroad bring a vehicle to Turkey without staying abroad for 185 days?پاسخ: Retirees from outside the Turkish Customs Territory are exempt from the 185-day abroad requirement when bringing a land vehicle to Turkey for personal use for the first time after their retirement.
7. 常见问题： Are there any restrictions on the country from which the vehicle can be imported?پاسخ: The vehicle must be registered in the country of residence. However, individuals residing in European Union and European Free Trade Union countries can bring vehicles registered in their name in any EU or EFTA country, not just their country of residence. For instance, a resident of Germany can temporarily bring a vehicle purchased from France to Turkey.
8. 常见问题： Can a resident of Turkey who doesn’t meet the residency requirement bring and use a vehicle from Georgia for 2 years?پاسخ: Residents of Turkey cannot import vehicles from abroad. Some websites and car dealerships misleadingly claim that Turkish citizens can use luxury vehicles purchased from abroad at low costs without issues, but this is against Customs regulations. Such unauthorized uses are detected by Ministry of Interior, and penalties are applied, including the requirement to export the vehicles.
9. 常见问题： How long can vehicles imported for touristic purposes stay in Turkey?پاسخ: Vehicles belonging to foreigner residence permit holders, dual citizens, or blue card holders (including retirees) residing outside the Turkish Customs Territory can stay in Turkey for up to 730 days.

Those without a residence permit are allowed 90 days within 180 days. For example, a Georgian citizen entering Turkey with an ID card can only have their vehicle stay for a maximum of 90 days within 180 days. For foreign nationals with a residence permit in Turkey, the vehicle’s stay may extend up to the period specified in the residence permit, but not more than 730 days.
11. 常见问题： Will vehicles owned by legal entities be allowed a 730-day stay?پاسخ: Vehicles (cars, minibuses, land vehicles, pickup trucks, and motorcycles) belonging to legal entities, if brought into Turkey under a power of attorney, are allowed a period of up to 90 days.
12. 常见问题： Can individuals who have used the entire 730-day period or who do not meet the residency requirement enter Turkey with a vehicle?پاسخ: Those who have used the entire 730-day period or do not meet the residency requirement cannot bring a vehicle until they fulfill the conditions. However, residents of EU and EFTA countries can bring land vehicles registered in these countries for personal use for a period of one month, once a year.
