29 Aug TEMPORARY IMPORT AND CONDITIONS OF VEHICLES WITH FOREIGN PLATES
People residing abroad can temporarily bring a land vehicle with foreign plates registered in their names in their place of residence to Turkey. Persons residing in the European Union and European Free Trade Association countries may also bring their vehicles registered in their name in the European Union and European Free Trade Association countries other than their place of residence. People who will bring vehicles must first provide the condition of being resident abroad.
Being a resident abroad; in the usual case, it means that a person residing abroad has actually been abroad for at least 185 days in the last 1 year, back from the date he wants to enter Turkey. It is essential that people who will bring vehicles have a residence abroad. Although people who work on ships, work temporarily on a construction site or stay in a hotel have actually spent 185 days of the last 1 year abroad, they are not considered residents abroad because they do not establish a residence abroad.
The 185-day period of residence abroad is calculated through the program in accordance with the passport entry and exit records obtained from the General Directorate of security Juliette. Passport or identification information is entered into the program, the program calculates the duration of stay in Turkey and abroad by going back 1 year -365 days from the desired date of entry to Turkey. In the last 1 year, people entering and leaving Turkey with different passports or identities must provide information to the customs administration to ensure that the 185-day period account is not made wrong. As a result of the calculation, people who have spent more than 185 days abroad in total of the last year with interruption or interruption and normally reside abroad provide the condition to be resident abroad.
