Does anyone know when to renew the license as no expiry date on mine and its only 4years old. Good old Turkey can't organize a p-ss up in a brewery. Sounds like visa's and SGK all over again. :(

They won't have expiry dates on them as this is a change in the law creating and expiry date.  This has yet to be announced,  all that is being said at the moment is that they will have to be renewed periodically......  ;) :-\

spoke to a traffic polis officer today and he said that as from next year a Turkish driving license will have to be renewed every ten years once a start date has been decided on. But please remember no one will chase behind you to get it done just fine you if not done. :D
