👉🏻The main rule: 185 days
To use the right to import a vehicle temporarily, a person must be considered resident outside Turkey. This requires physically spending at least 185 of the preceding 365 days outside Turkey before entry.
You can check your status through the official e-Devlet service.
⏳How long can the vehicle stay in Turkey?
For Turkish citizens living abroad, a foreign-registered vehicle may be allowed to stay for up to 730 days if the necessary conditions are met.
For foreign citizens with a Turkish residence permit, the vehicle can remain for the duration of that permit, up to a maximum of 730 days.
For foreign citizens without a Turkish residence permit, the standard allowance is up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
👨👩👧Can family members use the vehicle?
A spouse, parents and children may use the foreign-registered vehicle if they also live outside Turkey and can provide documentary evidence.
