Can Foreigners Buy a Car in Turkey?

Yes, foreigners can buy a car in Turkey. There are no restrictions on foreign nationals from buying a car in Turkey, and the process is similar to buying a car in other countries. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

You will need a valid residence or work permit to buy a car in Turkey.

You must obtain a Turkish driver's license if you plan to drive a car in Turkey. Foreign driver's licenses are generally not recognized in Turkey, and you must take a driving test to obtain Turkish permission.

It is a good idea to research the car market in Turkey and compare prices and options before making a purchase. You can buy a car from a dealership, private seller, or online platform.

You will need to pay a value-added tax (VAT) on the car's purchase price. The VAT rate in Turkey is 18%.

You must register the car in your name and obtain car insurance.

It's worth noting that the process of buying and registering a car in Turkey can be complex, and it's always a good idea to seek the advice of a lawyer or other professional if you have any questions.
