Turkey "Triptik" Carnet

Langanobob · 07-05-2008, 05:31 AM

Hello,

I'm a US citizen currently here in Turkey. On the purpose of trip on my visa it says "Business meeting". It's a multiple entry visa and is good for 5 years but each visit is only good for up to 90 days and I have to leave the country and come back once every 90 days.

Now, for the problem! I bought a Yamaha YBR125 to ride while I'm here on business in Turkey and I also plan on riding it to the Ukraine later this year.

A Turkish friend phoned the Turkey Touring Club in Izmir and asked them about the procedure to get the required Carnet. They told him that as an American riding a bike registered in Turkey I would need a resident permit in order to get a carnet to leave the country on the Turkish registered bike. I don't have a resident permit since I come and go, and I understand that resident permits are very difficult to get.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might approach this problem of riding a Turkish bike out of Turkey? Is there another way to get a carnet? I will return to Turkey on the bike in about a month after I leave.

Thank you.

Bob

You should contact the One More Mile motorcycle club at www.ommriders.com they have people all over the country who can help you out. Also the HU communities there.

petefromberkely,

Thanks for the tip on the One More Mile club - somehow I missed them and they sound like an interesting group.

I think there was another thread on here recently about this.

You might also want to post this in the Regional forum under

Turkish riders. Those guys would probably have more info for you.
