Not valid after 6 months

Foreigners may drive in Turkey provided that they keep their passport, international driver’s license and the vehicle license with them all the time. Turkey drives on the right side of the road and the advanced highway network allows easy access to different corners of the land.

Foreign driver’s licenses can be used for a maximum of six months from the date of entry into Turkey. At the end of six months, it is obligatory to replace the driver’s licenses obtained from foreign countries with a Turkish driver’s license in order to be able to drive in Turkey.
