Temporary vehicle import to Turkey
A visa and a vehicle are different law: the person and the car are given their terms by different authorities, and those terms need not match.
- Maximum term
- — Same as the driver’s permitted stay
- How the term is counted
- together with the driver’s stay
- Carnet de Passages
- Not required
- Extension
- No data
- Mandatory vehicle insurance
- a valid Green Card is required
Leaves together with the person (= the visa period). The vehicle is recorded in the passport; a carnet is not required. The 730 days apply only to residence-permit holders.

For tourists without a residence permit, the vehicle stay cannot exceed the driver's permitted stay; the customs FAQ gives 90 days in 180 days. The 730-day rule applies to Turkish citizens abroad, Blue Card holders, and residence permit holders, not ordinary tourists.
Foreign nationals without a residence permit are granted a total of 90 days within 180 days.
