Legal Updates
Turkish laws and regulations change when they are published in the Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete), sometimes taking effect the same day and sometimes months later. This section summarises changes that affect daily life and ongoing cases, with the Gazette date and issue number: what changed, who it concerns and from when it applies. The summaries are for information; how a change affects your own case needs a separate look.
- Foreign-Plated Cars: Tolls, Penalties and Exit BansA new regulation on toll payments by foreign-plated vehicles was published in Turkey's Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete) on 29 July 2026 and took effect the same day. It applies whether the driver is a foreign national or a Turkish citizen. Unpaid crossings now follow a stepped penalty timeline, and a car with outstanding toll debt cannot leave the country.
- Refurbished Phones and Laptops: The 2026 RulesTurkey's new Regulation on Refurbished Products was published in the Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete) on 27 June 2026 and has applied since 1 August 2026. For anyone in Antalya buying a refurbished phone, laptop or TV, or trading in an old device, the rules on returns, warranty and payment deadlines are now different.
