Those who want to try driving in Turkey can easily get a driving license in Turkey (more or less) and rent a car in any city they want.

As if you are planning to buy a car in Turkey, it is better for you to know the driving culture and traffic laws in Turkey as well as the cost of traffic fines in this country.

It is worth knowing that there are more than 25 million cars in Turkey, and of course you will not drive on empty roads. (Trust me)

But the good news is that traffic laws around the world are very similar and will change by less than 5%, and traffic and driving rules in Turkey are no exception to this.

Traffic rules in the cities of Turkey

Each of the Turkish cities, whether the city of Van, Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya or others, has its own culture!

When you travel to Turkey by land, you experience the special Turkish climate from the east of Turkey to the west.

Also, driving in small cities of Turkey is not subject to many strict laws except in cases that require the expertise of the traffic police!

So be careful when entering intersections, passing the yellow light and when crossing the squares.

The most important basic driving and traffic rules in Turkey

  • Driving in Turkey is on the right.

  • When passing vehicles with emergency conditions such as ambulances, it is necessary to open the lane for them.
  • Do not turn left lane and return to your lane after overtaking.
  • In multiple lanes roads, the right lane is for ambulances and police, so if you constantly move in that lane, you may be fined.

In a world where technology is developing day by day, and with the end of the second millennium and the beginning of the third millennium, and the acceleration of the electronic revolution movement.

Everyone’s biggest concern has become keeping up with the change, and at the same time, the government’s contribution to creating the conditions for these changes is very important.

-Advertisement-



The concept of E-Government appeared with the aim of getting rid of bureaucracy, and in this regard, in recent years, a new concept has emerged, which is the E-Government in Turkey.

Although many countries faced challenges regarding this idea, Turkey has managed to keep pace with the conditions for the E-Government to exist in Turkey.

The E-Government in Turkey is a new concept in developed countries like it, and it means carrying out administrative and governmental work electronically.

So today you can solve many of your administrative tasks without visiting government departments and only online, because all ministries of this country are connected to a central system called E-Devlet.

As a result, the Turkish government worked to enable citizens and foreigners to obtain the E-devlet.

So what is the E-Government (E-Devlet) in Turkey? How can it be obtained in Turkey and how to benefit from it?

Continue reading our article to find out all about the E-Government in Turkey.

What is the E-Government in Turkey (E-devlet)?

The E-Government in Turkey is an electronic display of services that the government usually provides to citizens.

In this way, the government aims to provide its services to citizens in the easiest and most effective, high quality, fast, uninterrupted and safe way.

With the concept of the E-Government beginning to replace the concept of bureaucratic and classic government, the goal is to provide easy access to every government department.

In addition, ensuring that everyone is served via communication systems, using information technologies and government agencies and the services provided by these agencies.

Also, in Turkey, the E-devlet system, which stands for Elektronik Devlet, i.e. E-Government is the main infrastructure.

It forms the basis for E-Government available to citizens, and this system often covers public services for all citizens and residents.

-Advertisement-



Regarding the start of this step in Turkey, the formation of the E-Government project in Turkey was approved in early 2006.

This was done by the Turkish Cabinet, and it was assigned and administered to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.

This website officially began operating in late 2008, with only 22 services for a limited number of citizens, but with the passage of time its facilities increased.

In conjunction with the launch of the site, the Turkish government has also set an agenda to expand citizens’ access to electronic devices and the Internet.

Today, about half of Turkey’s population (nearly thirty-eight million people) use E-Government services, which is a large number.

One of the problems with launching the project was the lack of legal infrastructure, which encouraged the Turkish parliament to amend the law.

Turkey’s E-Government portal and website

Turkey’s E-Government portal is a website that allows access to all public services from one point.

The portal also aims to provide public services to citizens, companies and government agencies in an effective manner through information technologies.

This portal guarantees service to users via the Internet easy access to the services they need from the government in Turkey.

-Advertisement-



E-devlet page components:

On the first page of the site, with its introduction written: (Use the E-devlet infrastructure to take advantage of the services of hundreds of organizations, thus saving your time and money).

Also, you will find a sentence: (Using the options on this page, you can easily access the information, documents and forms you need).

At first glance, the phrase (thousands of services for hundreds of institutions) may seem an exaggeration, but it is not far from the truth on the Turkey E-Government website.

Where the site covers all ministries and institutions of the state of Turkey, as well as universities, medical centers and even some companies as well.

How to enter the E-Government portal in Turkey:

The login to the E-Government portal in Turkey is done using the user’s national number and password.

The password is obtained through one of the PTT branches, in exchange for an amount not exceeding half a dollar.

-Advertisement-



How to access the authority to use the E-Government portal in Turkey

It should be noted that accessing the site is very easy and does not require long administrative arrangements.

All citizens (including Turks and foreigners who have obtained a residence permit in Turkey) will be able to access all these facilities upon receiving the username and password.

In addition, the site is very easy to use, and has been designed to benefit all people with different educational levels.

It also helps them easily find the department they need, and this system is also available today as an app for smartphones.

Although this infrastructure faced some problems and challenges during nearly ten years of operation.

(Including the leakage of information from a number of citizens), however, it gradually overcame legal and structural problems, and today it has become an integral part of Turkish government.

-Advertisement-



Where you can access two types of services through the E-Government portal.

First, to access the content offered for informational purposes, you just have to type in the following address www.turkiye.gov.tr, and view the page.

Whereas, electronic services are public services that are provided electronically, but you will need a password or an electronic signature.

Or, a portable signature must be obtained to access personal information or electronic services that require authentication.

You can also obtain many electronic services from the same address with one authentication (password, electronic signature, and mobile signature).

We inform you about the possibility for foreigners residing in Turkey for at least six months for any purpose to obtain a foreign identification number, which differs from the Turkish identification number.

The mechanism for using the E-devlet portal in Turkey is from the PTT mail located in all regions by taking a valid residence permit for the resident, passport and Turkish phone number.

Where you must enter the ID card number and the code given to you from the PTT from the website, or via the E-devlet app.

How to define a foreign identity number for residents of Turkey within the E-Government website:

  • First, visit the link https://tckimlik.nvi.gov.tr/
  • Make inquiries, either by entering your residence permit number (İkamet Tezkere no), meaning the number on the first page of the residence permit, for example (1-112233), or your personal information.
  • Based on your inquiry, you will be given an 11-digit number, generally starting with 99.
  • Take a printed copy of this inquiry and send it to the counselor responsible for managing you at the registrar’s office.
  • There is a possibility that the inquiry will not give you a number, which means that you have not yet been assigned that number.
  • In this case, you will need to go to the Turkish National Police / Foreigners Unit (Ankara Emniyet Müdürlüğü / Yabancılar Şubesi) to find out your national ID number.
  • Once you get the number, send it to the registrar’s office.

Today, those who want to own a car in Turkey prefer to buy used cars with a much more affordable budget than new cars.

Consequently, they agree with the car owner in Turkey, or deal with Turkish companies specialized in this field.

But in the beginning, it is important to properly prepare a number of documents and papers, before starting the transactions of buying and selling used cars in Turkey.

Therefore, if you intend to buy or sell a used car through the transfer of ownership of this car in Turkey, you must review the official documents of the vehicle.

But the most important thing is to know the costs of transferring car ownership in Turkey from A to Z.

And this is what our article aims to do.

How to transfer car ownership in Turkey

Before getting into the details of the costs of transferring car ownership in Turkey, some things must be clarified about how to transfer car ownership in Turkey.

As buying a used car in Turkey is more common than buying a new car.

Meaning that in many cases people prefer to buy used cars instead of buying directly from companies, which may be due to their low prices.

As a result, acquiring a car by transferring its ownership by buying it from its previous owner and owner is a better solution, because used cars are much cheaper.

-Advertisement-



In general, in order to find a used car, the owner of which wants to transfer the registration on it to someone else, there are various websites available specifically for this purpose.

You can also view the updated car prices on these sites. Here are some sites that can help you in this regard.

We recommend that after agreeing on the price of the car whose ownership is to be transferred, make sure to ask the site or the expert in charge to inspect the car, and make sure that an expert certificate is received from them after paying the fees.

Details of the process of transporting cars in Turkey

There are some important points to consider when transferring car ownership in Turkey:

  • According to the traffic law in Turkey, the transfer of car ownership in Turkey is done through the notary office.

However, there are some points that are recommended to be made before reaching the notary process for transferring car ownership in Turkey:

  • The foreclosure or seizure sign on the vehicle, if any, must be removed.
  • If the vehicle has tax or traffic ticket debt, it must be paid.
  • Prepare the necessary documents for transferring ownership in advance.
  • The car must be inspected, as this can lead to many problems that require additional costs other than ownership transfer costs.
  • Processing notary expenses.
  • The bank account information must be prepared in advance, in case the car price is to be paid or collected through bank transfers.
  • The distance traveled by the vehicle must be checked.
  • Vehicle tax and traffic fine debt must be paid before selling.

After obtaining information about the vehicle’s movement record, it is also necessary to conduct sales transactions in the presence of a notary.

Many details are scrutinized, such as vehicle transfer fees, vehicle transportation transactions, and vehicle purchase and sale tax.

These details must be known by those planning to purchase a used car and transfer its ownership from the owner to them.

The costs of transferring car ownership in Turkey, and the party responsible for paying them

It should be noted that the cost of the notary is about 250 liras when completing the car ownership transfer process in Turkey, whether you are a citizen or a long-time resident in Turkey.

Also, the seller bears the previous costs of the car before transporting it, such as taxes, fines, etc.. and he/she must pay them before the final ownership transfer.

After completing the registration process, the car card will be handed over to the buyer, after which he will have one month to collect his license plate.

Also, to apply for a license plate, you have to go to the police station, which will cost about 60 Turkish liras.

-Advertisement-



Of course, you can refer to the website concerned for this purpose, and then on the tab that they provide, they will display the exact date and time for receiving the license plate.

In addition to the above costs, road tax must be paid annually.

Since the purchased car cannot be used by anyone outside the household, a fine will be required if it is used by a stranger.

During the transfer of car ownership in Turkey, the buyer shall bear the costs of transferring the ownership at the notary, where the fees of the notary (the transaction of transfer of ownership of the car in Turkey) are determined as follows:

  • Notary Public Fee: 150 Turkish Liras

  • Total Documentation Sales Fee: 518 TL

  • In the case of changing the license plate of the used car, the notary fee is 900 TL, or between 700 TL and 1600 TL
  • For the new arrangement, the transfer fee remains the same if the license plate is changed or not
  • To renew the plate, 110 TL for the back or front panel, which is 220 TL for the two panels.

In addition to the above, notary fees vary according to the type of protest, as the minimum protest fee is 465 Turkish liras.

Panel printing fees also vary depending on the plate printing site and labor cost.

You can also find out the fees for a notary’s protest from the nearest notary office according to your location.

The cost of replacing a car license plate in Turkey

If you are applying through the site, the application form, which you must have applied for in advance, specifies the date and time that you must go to the police station.

If you live in a small town and want to change your license plate, you do not need to make an appointment due to the small number of clients.

But if you are in big cities like Ankara, Istanbul and Antalya, you should make an appointment before visiting in person.

As for the cost of this process, in 2023, the cost of changing the license plate, along with the cost of the notebook computer, was 690 + 150 liras, i.e. a total of 940 Turkish liras.

Whether you have a Turkish citizenship, a long-term residence permit in Turkey, or even a one-year residence permit in Turkey.

It is necessary to refer to the notary to name the car that has been transferred to you, and this is so that you can register the car.

As for the language problem, many notaries have an official Turkish translator who you can employ with confidence if you are not familiar with the Turkish language.

Keep in mind that the cost will be around 550 liras to a notary.

Also, we inform you that the seller who wants to transfer the ownership of his/her car to you will bear the previous expenses, such as fines, taxes, etc., and he must pay them all.

Medical and pharmaceutical services for foreigners in Turkey

Due to its global expanding success in the field of medicine and pharmacy, Turkey has made various arrangements for foreigners to benefit from these medical services.

In order to benefit from public, private and university hospitals in Turkey, one must be covered by public or private health insurance.

With the help of these two insurances, either no fees are paid for health services, or a very small fee is paid.

The concept of insurance must also be taken into account when it comes to pharmaceutical services.

Because public health and private insurance also cover many drug purchases.

Indeed, there is no need for an insurance company to pay for many drugs.

Rather, people who are not covered by any insurance, regardless of their nationality, will even be required to pay for the medication themselves.

So when people are not covered by health insurance, continuing to pay for medicines due to their high price becomes an ineffective and costly situation.

How do Turkish pharmacies work ?

In Turkey, unlike the United States and some European countries, pharmacies only provide pharmaceutical services.

These pharmacy services are regulated by specific rules according to the laws of Turkey, and they are common, effective and very active.

The main reason is the following ruling (one pharmacy per 3,500 people) and this is mentioned in the law.

Hence, as a result, and depending on the population density, pharmacies can be easily reached wherever you are in Turkey.

Also, in Turkey, only pharmacy graduates are allowed to open a pharmacy. For this reason, and of course, when you go to the pharmacy, you will meet with medical experts directly.

What are the opening hours of pharmacies in Turkey ?

Pharmacy opening hours in Turkey during the week and weekend are as follows:

  • During the week, work starts from: 08:30 in the morning and ends at: 19:00 in the evening.
  • On saturday, working hours start from: 09:30 AM and end at: 19:00 PM.

People who want to go to the pharmacy outside these hours and on Sundays must go to pharmacies that operate around the clock.

You can find these pharmacies by searching on the Internet for the city in which you live in Turkey.

Moving to another country has a great impact on the soul of every person and makes him more familiar with his culture and customs.

So you must have the basics before you take a step to move to Turkey, so that there will be no problem during the trip.

Turkey is a beautiful and wonderful country in many ways, and it is not bad to know more to prepare well before moving to Turkey.

From the varied tourist attractions, to its people and its amazing food, Turkey is an ideal place for adventure and fun for any tourist or resident.

So in this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on all the things you need to know and do before you travel or move to Turkey.

1- Getting the required and essential documents for travel and moving to Turkey

The most important thing to consider before moving to Turkey, like any other foreign trip, is to get a set of identity and travel documents that you must have with you.

Also of course, not all items are required, but you can use and need them somewhere within Turkey.

In addition, be aware that tour tourists do not need a visa to move to Turkey.

But aside from the visas, there are documents that tourists must carry with them before moving to Turkey.

So, given that you are planning to move to Turkey, you must first know the documents you need before traveling to this country.

And before preparing a Turkish plane ticket, prepare these necessary documents below.

Required documents to travel and move to Turkey:

  • A passport valid for more than six months with a copy.
  • Plane ticket and Turkey tour purchase contract.
  • Turkey guide.
  • A dictionary translated in your country’s language to the Turkish language.
  • Map of destination city in Turkey.
  • Travel program.
  • International driver’s license (if you intend to rent a car in Turkey).
  • Travel insurance.

Therefore, we recommend that you remember to bring all the documents you need to before you travel to Turkey.

This is so that your first trip does not turn into a bitter memory.

2- Getting the accommodation costs for moving to Turkey

Unfortunately, the cost of accommodation in Turkey and especially Istanbul is very expensive, as it is somewhat a European city.

It is expensive especially in hot seasons, as many tourists from all over the world flock to the city.

We inform you that the prices of goods in Turkey are more expensive in tourist areas than in any other country.

There are some places that even most Turks cannot go to and take advantage of.

In addition to the cost of Turkish public health services, the owners of these services are required to pay taxes.

But it is common to ask about prices in Turkey, therefore, it is recommended to inquire about the costs before moving to Turkey.

Hotel costs if you want to move to Turkey temporarily :

There are a variety of good hotels in the different cities of Turkey, and hotels in the cities of Turkey are very far apart in terms of price, and their prices may surprise you.

Sometimes, there is a huge difference in the price of a 3-star and 4-star hotel that could reach about 2570 (350 euros).

But in most cases, you can find different hotels in Turkey with different facilities and prices according to your financial ability.

Also, most hotels in this country price between 60 and 210 liras.

And with a little research, you can find cheaper hotels, as low as 50 liras a night.

Unless you are looking for more expensive hotels, it is not a bad thing to know that you can stay up to 3000 TL and more.

Costs of renting an apartment to move to Turkey :

For those who do not like staying in a hotel, the good news is that in Turkey you can rent an apartment or suite.

The price ranges between 200 and 900 Turkish liras per night, and this depends on your financial capabilities.

Average food costs prices in Turkey :

Fortunately, the cost of food in Turkey is relatively cheap and you won’t have a problem with that when you move to Turkey.

Usually the hotel which you stay in will provide you with a breakfast meal, but in any case you can manage the cost otherwise.

As Having breakfast costs 10 to 20 Turkish liras in most parts of Turkey.

You can also eat sandwiches and a variety of Mediterranean dishes for 15 – 25 TL.

Also, if you move outside the tourist areas within the country, you can enjoy a good meal at a reasonable price from 15 to 30 liras as a dinner.

Usually the price of fast food in Turkey such as McDonald’s is around 25 TL at its best.

So if you are looking for more savings to save the cost of moving to Turkey, street food is arguably a good option.

3- keep coins with you before traveling to Turkey

In big cities like Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and other cities of Turkey, most businesses accept credit cards.

But in small towns, as well as small establishments within these big cities in Turkey, you may need some cash on you.

You will also need to pay cash for a small fee for taxis, public restrooms, and waiter tips….

Also, do not forget to bring foreign currencies with you before traveling to Turkey, the most appropriate currency that you can take with you to Turkey is the US Dollar and Euro.

Air tickets cost $ 300 per person (varies depending on the country you are coming from), but in road travel, travelers will not have to pay this cost.

4- Before moving to Turkey, try to learn Turkish

It may sound a little strange, but it is interesting to know that although many Turks know to some degree in English.

By learning a little bit of Turkish and getting into a conversation with these people, there is an opportunity to get a much better service.

Who knows, maybe you can get a small discount on your purchases in this way, and with the fluency of your conversation with Turkish merchants.

5- Avoid renting a car to move within Turkey

Many people think that the price of gasoline in Turkey is cheap, but sorry to say that (They are wrong), contrary to that, gasoline is very expensive in Turkey.

Therefore, we recommend that you avoid renting a car before moving to Turkey.

In any case, if you insist on doing so, it is better to rent a diesel car than a regular one.

This kind of car has better efficiency and lower cost for you.

But our last suggestion is to use the public transportation system to move around the city, as Turkay hase one of the best transportation networks in Europe.

6- Look for discount coupons under Shopping and Purchasing before moving to Turkey

Sometimes voucher codes can save you a large amount of money that you would otherwise be wasting on your trip to Turkey.

Therefore, it is best to always look for sites that offer coupons and discount packages for international trips before traveling or moving to Turkey.

Using Akbil (Istanbul Card) while transportation :

Akbil (Istanbul Card) is an essential card for using the public transportation system, and it is the main way to get around Turkey’s busy cities.

Akbil greatly reduces your costs while residing in Turkey.

This card is also rechargeable, but you have to pay a little more than 6 Turkish Liras to buy one.

7- Prepare the necessary items for your trip before moving to Turkey

There are many people who do not know the necessities of travel.

They often tell themselves during the trip (I wish I brought some items with me), or there are those people who are obsessed with never losing anything.

For this reason, care must be taken when selecting the equipment for the trip.

We also suggest using a checklist to prepare the necessary equipment that we mention before moving to Turkey.

The most important items and equipment needed before traveling to Turkey :

In general, it is better to have the following equipment with you:

Flashlight :

A flashlight is a very useful tool that you must have when traveling.

It does not take up much space, and it is better than using your phone.

Camera :

Although smartphone cameras are of acceptable quality these days.

However, having professional cameras is another story, as you can capture beautiful and enjoyable memories with a much better quality.

Medicine :

It may be very helpful to bring some medicines with you when you travel.

As you may suffer from nausea, headache, or any other problem that can be easily treated with medication.

Of course, you must also pay attention to the Turkish laws on importing medicines into the country.

This is so that you do not have drugs that are prohibited inside Turkey, which does not cause more problems.

First aid kit :

To avoid injuries as much as possible in the event of an accident, it is best to have a first aid kit.

Also inside the box could be alcohol for disinfection, betadine, dressings and wound dressings.

Power Bank for Electronic Devices :

Today, despite all kinds of smartphones and music players, having a power bank with you on a trip is extremely recommended.

Where you can charge all kinds of smartphones and smart devices using one big power bank.

Headphones :

Headphones are one of the most important gadgets in travel, which may not seem very practical to you.

But it may also be very important and practical during breaks, in the plane and while waiting in the airport.

Necessary items and accessories for traveling to the coastal regions of Turkey:

If you are planning to visit and relax in the coastal regions when traveling to Turkey, the purposes for traveling may look a little different.

Of course, the above basics are essential accessories for any trip.

But in addition to that, if your destination is cities like Antalya or Istanbul, you should also consider the following elements of your trip:

Swimwear :

You can’t forget something like this 😉

Of course, swimwear is one of the most important travel purposes, so you better have it with you when going on a trip to the beaches of Turkey.

Be careful when crossing the streets of Turkey :

Traffic in Turkey is famous just like any other big country, and to be honest this is not very good for pedestrians.

Pedestrian crossing has no particular significance in this country, so don’t expect cars to stop for you without a traffic light (unless you are the chosen one).

So, the best and safest way to cross the street is definitely paying attention to traffic lights.

However, we also suggest that you check if the cars are still around! (Cause you never know)

In Turkey, the greeting is done by kissing the cheeks :

Turkish people are usually very emotional, and you can understand this from the way they greet each other.

Although the usual first encounters are just a handshake, they usually kiss each other on the cheeks.

It occurs on friendly dates or with someone you already know, and this method is often accompanied by hugs.

Cats and dogs abound on the streets of Turkey :

You can see cats and dogs everywhere, literally.

Most of the locals also take care of them, so these animals, with their good and friendly behavior, leave no way for fear at all.

You can even see the Tombili statue in Istanbul.

This famous cat died in the street in 2016, so you can notice the great interest in animals within the cities of Turkey.

Public toilets are abundant in Turkey :

You will come across many traditional toilets if you visit the cities of Turkey for sure.

These old toilets are very clean and hygienic, and can be seen in many areas along with modern toilets today.

Tea is a sign of hospitality :

Before moving to Turkey, make sure that you should be prepared to drink a lot of tea daily.

People in this country are very interested in tea, and even the shopkeepers may stop you and offer you some tea in the middle of your shopping.

Also, when you go to a house of a Turkish, they will most likely offer you a cup of fresh tea.

This is a sign of the generosity and intimacy of these people, and if you don’t accept it, they will take your behavior as an insult.

Determine your destination to the best tourist attractions in advance :

Turkey’s cities are filled with tourist attractions that range from monuments to ancient palaces to beautiful mosques.

In addition to elegant restaurants, cafes, and endless shops in various popular bazaars and markets.

The cities of Turkey and especially Istanbul are so big and have so many attractions that you still have enough energy and time for a full tour.

Also, there were issues with the Amazon system algorithm in Turkey.

Special and regular rates were also incorrectly recorded during processing.

All these reasons that confronted the website system have worried many buyers.

Reports of such complaints have also increased in Amazon Turkey.

Amazon in the early days was not able to solve these problems.

But of course, these cases were corrected within the site in a short time.

Step by step, how to buy from Amazon in Turkey ?

The process of buying from Amazon Turkey has been simplified and facilitated according to the online shopping routine.

However, there are points that you must follow while shopping so that there is no problem for your shipment from the site.

To find the product you need, you can find your product at the top of the website’s page in the search box.

Plus, Amazon has the ability to filter.

By identifying the options you have in mind, you can do your research work in a limited way.

Also, you can get a more accurate purchase and be satisfied with your choice.

This is done through careful study of product and seller specifications, and comments made by previous users.

After registering and comprehensively reviewing the product you selected, you need to add the desired product to the shopping cart to enable the final purchase.

After choosing the finished product, you can pay and take delivery of the goods.

In this process, the site will ask you for the address, phone number and email.

So you need to complete the information completely and accurately.

Important note :

Another point to consider when buying from online stores.

Namely, after choosing the product in terms of material, type, color, etc., you need to accurately record its number.

For example, they might mention a product that only has two, so there are two issues here.

The first is to finish your order faster, and make the purchase so that the product you want does not expire.

The second is that you may need two quantities of the product, so in the event of a mistake or in case the number is not registered, a number will be sent to you.

Also keep in mind that it is possible that the product you will purchase needs additional explanation.

You should make sure to enter it in the relevant form and discuss it with the seller.

The simplest payment method for regular users who intend to buy items from Amazon Turkey is to use a PayPal, MasterCard or Visa card account.

The use of these electronic payment procedures allows users to shop quickly, safely and easily.

As on Papara sites, you can apply for MasterCard or Visa credit cards.  You will also find experts with you on Paypal online.

What are the shipping procedures for Amazon in Turkey ?

As Amazon is the largest online store in the world, Amazon has made great efforts to innovate and facilitate the shipping process in Turkey and the world.

Accuracy and confidentiality on the site :

On the other hand on Amazon Turkey, all goods are registered in a confidential manner.

This is so you can define your product in a group, and then achieve the details of the product you are considering by creating the appropriate filters.

Thus, in the shortest time, you can see the offers of many different brands and stores for what you want.

Available offers and points to subscribers of the Amazon website in Turkey :

Also, keep in mind that Amazon Turkey offers auctions and discounts for special occasions.

This is like the main Amazon website, which offers great prices.

So this can greatly help you in your selection.

Fast and perfect delivery of goods from Amazon in Turkey :

By immigrating to Turkey, you can also take advantage of the fast and perfect delivery service from Amazon in Turkey.

Amazon now delivers goods in Turkey in two ways, standard and immediate delivery.

In standard delivery in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Bursa, the goods will be delivered to the customer within 2-3 days.

Where the standard delivery fee is 4.90 Turkish Liras, and it is not charged in the case of orders over 100 Turkish Liras.

However, applications over 50 liras were also exempt from postage.

This is about the package related to the opening of the Amazon website in Turkey by the end of 2018.

Immediate or express delivery to the cities of Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Bursa within one working day.

For other cities, immediate delivery takes place within two working days.

Where there are immediate shipments on weekends and holidays, and immediate delivery at 7.90 TL.

Affordable Buying from Amazon Turkey :

But now with the presence of Amazon within Turkey, this difference in price and economic efficiency is more evident.

Amazon’s goal is to be the leader in e-commerce in Turkey.

Which has a reasonable price advantage, and offers the best price compared to its competitors.

So this increased competition in e-commerce in Turkey led to other competitors.

By offering lower prices and more profitable companies to customers in Turkey.

Amazon’s Satisfy customers in Turkey:

Amazon’s transformation into a giant global e-commerce site is undoubtedly related to customer satisfaction, and this is what the company attaches great importance to.

In this way, Amazon immediately pays the relevant cost without delay and without involving the customer in any process.
