Transporting a Vehicle to Diyarbakir.
Before you can import your vehicle to Diyarbakir, Turkey, you need to know what the driving rules are there. Knowing your road signs and the rules and regulations will help you tremendously.

In order to import a vehicle, you will need to obtain a residence permit that can only be issued by the Embassy of Turkey in Washington DC. This residency permit will notify authorities of your intentions to stay only 90 days or less or if you want to make a move to this big city on a more permanent or long term basis. You will need to have a valid passport which can cost you anywhere from $105 to $135, depending on your age. Before you leave the United States, you can register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment program.

Importing Vehicles Internationally.
There are two ways to ship your vehicle from the United States; Roll On/ Roll Off and shipping. If you choose Roll On/Roll-Off shipping, your vehicle will most likely be delivered on time and within your budget to Diyarbakir from the United States. This method of shipping has been the number one choice for many who have needed to ship their vehicle from the United States over to another country. Using the keys, the vehicle is started up and driven onto the deck of a ship where it is fastened down and prepared for sailing on the sea. Once it reaches the port, the vehicle is then unfastened and driven off of the ship onto the port. A1 Auto Transport Agents can explain both of these methods of shipping to you and help you determine which one is right for you.
Requirements as per Turkey Customs Authority.
Turkey has a strict policy on importing cars and must be adhered to in order to clear your vehicle through customs. Whenever you ship your vehicle to Diyarbakir you will be able to choose a permanent residence or a temporary residence, for up to 6 months. Choosing a permanent residence will show your proof of school, work, or that you have come there to retire and you are not moving back to the United States.
