Title: Has anyone left UK Car in Turkey and returned to uk for a short period?
Post by: Somerset Simon on December 16, 2017, 06:06:35 AM: Hi all, just planning 2018 and would appreciate any advice on the process on the Yellali site about registering Car with customs to enable a UK visit?

Yellali state:
What happens if the owner wants to leave the country without the vehicle?
No problem, the vehicle can be left at your home or at any other safe place. The local customs must be notified before the departure (either one day before or on the same day at the airport). A form must be signed where the driver undertakes to take care that no-one will use the vehicle during his/her absence.

Thanks!

Your car will be left where you say it will be,your home?not at any air or sea port.and nobody else should drive it
There is no cost involved apart from your copying.The form issued is meant to be shown at Passport control when you leave Turkey,normally they don't even look at it
They do close for lunch.

Never had to show either outward or inward flights, oh and I forgot you have to present your car when you make your application,I normally park in the staff parking area
