• Vehicle Registration: The vehicle must be registered in your name in your country of residence.

Duration of Stay:

   • Pasaport, araç kayıt belgeleri, yurt dışında ikamet belgesi ve sigorta poliçesi.

  Pasaport: Passport: Valid passport with relevant visas.

  Vehicle Registration: Original registration documents from your home country.

  Proof of Residency Abroad: Documents indicating your residence outside Turkey for the required period.

  Insurance: Valid international vehicle insurance recognized in Turkey.

1. At the Border:
