Documents Required to Drive Abroad 2019!
Our favorite country in Europe for a very long time is Greece. In fact, we are lucky because it is just as easy to reach from Turkey!
As such, we decided to prepare a list of ‘Documents Required for Going Abroad by Car‘. Why not Greece and even other European countries from there by your private car? If he doesn’t cut it, it can even be Georgia by car!
You need 3 things;
Documents Required for Going Abroad by Car
1-) The vehicle must be in your own name
because they always check the vehicle’s license at the border. If the vehicle is not yours, you must obtain a power of attorney from the vehicle owner.. If the vehicle owner is an institution (for example, if it is the vehicle of the company you work for), the situation still does not change, you must get a power of attorney.
2-) Green Insurance for Vehicles
This insurance is yours. not for your vehicle. Green Insurance is the foreign version of the insurance you have taken out for your vehicle to be on the road in Turkey.. It is also very simple to make. You go to the nearest one by looking at the addresses of the Turing offices, which are the competent authority for this insurance, on the Internet, and you show the photocopy of your vehicle’s license and the insurance copy in Turkey (Valid Traffic Insurance Photocopy) and you close your Green Insurance.
If you can’t find a Turing office near you or if you don’t have time to get green insurance before your travel date, most border crossings have a Turing office, you can get one from there.. You can check which border gates have Turing offices from this link.
You can get the insurance for a period of between 15 days and 1 year.. Here is the link to Turing official site for fees.
3-) License with International Validity (Chip License)
Annual International Driver’s License for going abroad by car in advance You had to buy it and you had to work and pay for it.. Fortunately, driver’s licenses with chips have been issued in Turkey and there is no need for this anymore!
With the driver’s licenses with chips, which have been in distribution since 2016, you can go abroad with your vehicle without the need to take any additional action.. If you haven’t renewed your driver’s license yet, you can make an appointment with the Population Directorate and renew it for 15 TL (of course, a health report is also required).
These new chip driving licenses are now valid almost all over the world.. Therefore, even if you do not have a plan to go abroad by car at the moment, it would be beneficial to renew it.
The exceptions to the above are Georgia and Bulgaria. You do not need to have a driver’s license to enter Georgia by car.. Even if you don’t have your passport with you. All you need is a valid driver’s license and ID. It’s that easy!
Bulgaria still does not want a driver’s license with a chip, but if one of the border police notices this, they can ask for a bribe.. Pay attention to this.
In addition to all these, of course, you will need a valid visa and a valid passport for the country you are visiting.. That’s how going abroad by car is that easy!
We wish everyone a safe trip!
Love everyone!
