I used to watch your channel when I lived in Dorset and now I'm living in Spain. This year the new drone rules start in the EU and the Spanish site is no better at the moment like yours. I have a selection of drones and the new mini 2 will be a much better to fly on holidays but you still have to register as a operator but like you it seems you have to be a resident of the EU. Passed my A1/A3 test, just waiting for my certificate as an operator. With the new rules in the EU, you have to register what ever size or weight drone fitted with a camera. Interesting times with new laws around the world with drones. Many thanks for your video - stay safe :)
Hello mate nice to here from you 🤠, yes I more and more use other people’s footage available on different sites as we get more popular, but it’s nice when we can film what we want 🤠take care
Very good videos love the way Mick you take the time to do great information for people ...look forward to the new videos to come ..x love turkey so much ..miss turkey💖💖
Very informative, Mick and Trudie. I started watching a few of your latest ones and they are quite interesting, particularly for me as you offer valuable insights in familiar British style. Keep up the good work, mate. Who knows we might bump into each other in Turkey.
Planning to go into Turkey in a few days... Have a drone license from USA, but this seems so difficult. Wouldn't want to be fined at all and it just adds more headache to travel. Thanks for your helpful information!
I wasn't to sure about Turkish drone laws and i was thinking about bringing my MA2 to Turkey this year. Too much hassle , i see you have the MA2 they are awesome drones !
That's why they do it. So that we all think it's too much hassle. I certainly do. I really wanted to take mine but after seeing this video, I don't think I'm going to even try.
hahahaha mick amca, i was also thinking of buying a drone from abroad, then i saw this fr03 and other forms sh*t, then just decided to buy a 249g. after that, i saw your video; even as a turkish citizen, all these procedures seem exhausting, especially with turkish public servants... i cannot imagine as a foreigner what you got through :D
I have traveled to Turkey more than 10 times and have always used my drone and have never been questioned. I am not Turkish and I do not have Turkish residence.
Thank you for this information. I haven't been home (Ortaca/Mugla) for 3 years due to Covid and now I have eventually just booked my holidays. So I can bring my dji mini 2 over with no paper work necessary but need a license to fly it... I think I will skip as I know how paper work and bureaucracy works in Turkey! Greetings from Ireland. Subscribed.
Super informative. I’m travelling to Icemillar this year and wanted to bring my Mini 2. Sounds like I need to knuckle down and get the necessary paperwork. Subscribed 👍🏻🇬🇧
@@mickandtrudie mini 2 is ok to bring you said. But you said, too, that to fly a mini 2, one has to ask for permission first via filling out an online form. Is my understanding correct?
very informative Video Mick 👍that's saved me some money and a lot of hassle, I own a Mavic air 2 which I knew I wasn't allowed to bring but was going to buy a mini 2 to come on holiday in October after being misinformed by another RUclips channel so thank you. Would you be able to do a video on the requirements for a recreational fishing licence in Turkey please and the process of obtaining one 🙏 thank you keep up the excellent work.
No one controls fishing in the rivers or the sea! Unless your on a boat at least I have never seen anyone, been fishing here in the winter for 30 years 🤠
Cover photo and the title is a little misleading. One can freely bring a drone to Turkey. But if you are flying drone over cities and some specific areas you MUST get a permission first. Otherwise you might fine 1000 EUR as you said so.
That was very helpful thank you! I have a DJI Mavic Air 2 and it is just over the 500g limit. And if even it were under the limit I STILL need to register which is impossible as just a regular hobbyist (since I"m not a permanent resident nor a citizen of Turkey). Wow. Looks like I wont be coming to Turkey then. At least not with my drone. Thanks again. Subscribed!
I am probably among the first to get a permit through the web site. Back then, they hadn't yet invented a license. They just gave me a QR code that I simply printed on waterproof paper and taped it on top of my Mavic Pro. When I have to fly it where there is possibility of trouble, up until now I simply filled a form and applied with my permit number. I must also say that these last 4 years, I haven't flown it.
You have to understand that if you strap a bomb to a drone you have a really destructive weapon in your hands.. It's an issue for every country. You can't really "carry" anything with a 500 gram drone so it's easier to fly it or unless you are flying over some critical structure you can "maybe" get away with it with "I didn't know" excuse. IF you have a large drone and get caught using it without a license you will face a fine. A tourist flying a small drone in the middle of nowhere might(!) get away with a "don't do it again" warning though. My house is next to the Turkish Intelligence Agency main campus, I wouldn't even think about flying a kite nearby.
This is so out of date, basically, unless your drone is under 500gms, don't take it. You have to be a Turkish Resident to register it, so holidaymakers cannot register. Under 500 gms you can bring it in without a problem and fly almost anywhere except for over archaeological areas or historical buildings, only daylight within view of drone flying at no higher than 120 meters and not faster than 50km/h. And not over crowds. Search for 2024 laws as regards drone flying in Turkey,
Amazing video! We're also struggling to understand their laws, it's a nightmare! We found some answers in the FAQ section of the DGCA but not everything is there! I also tried to contact them but we didn't get a response by the moment. In our case we're registered operators in Belgium and we have a DJI mini 3 (so mass < 250 grs). Custom shouldn't be a problem. But what about flying the drone? Do we need a permit? Following their FAQ section that seems to be the case, or are we wrong?
Basically, if you’re in a public place or close to a town, city or beach, you need permission from the local council and or the Turkish civil aviation authorities to fly a drone, however, if it’s a quiet place away from ancient ruins, no one will bother you
OMG yes they have one one in USA too, they take all the fun out of living, US becoming police state by day. we can not even drink Beer on the beach, no parking after 11 pm, people are becoming home buddies, and bored, we used to have beach parties at night not anymore California is been the worst
Watched a video of some US guy flying a drone around blue mosque, they downed the drone with one of those anti-drone jammer-weapons. And they apprehended the guy, he was scared s.itless. But they did let him go without any charges or fines, because he was obviously a tourist.
Dear Mick Amca, I see your frustrations about drones. I agree them all, besides that Turkey has its laws, you still have a chance to point them,plus people who are ready to listen to you and try to help you out any way, but I might say as an dutch citizen, law is law and there is no chance or a glimp of felxibelity to change any thing, I consider you still lucky :) that all sad sory for my bad English and languagictic mistakes, hayati yasamaya devam, iyi sanslar
Thank you for the information Uncle Mick. I live in sydney australia and the laws here are if you operate a drone under 2kg you dont need to be licensed just need to register the drone even if your using it commercially. If your drone is over 2kg you will need to have a license. You cant fly your drone near a airport 5.5km distance and over jails. You also need to stay under 120m height. No flying over a populated crowd beachs etc. Lots of the rules are common sense. I think turkey has to many security concerns.
Hi Mick Nice video the DJI mini is less than 250g which means in most countries you can fly without licence. is this the same in turkey? plus the dji sofware shows you where you can and cant fly before you take off. in fact if you are in a restricted zone the software doesn't allow you to take off. i have a DJI mini but i havent tried to fly it yet. i would be interested to hear comments from those that have and did they encounter any issues? many thanks
Hi Mick! We're head over to Turkey in the coming months. I tried filling out the form but it's quite complicated. I was just reading that they may confiscate your drone and return it to you on your departure with a fee. Do you happen to know what that fee is? Trying to find info on that but can't seem to see anything just yet
I have a 250 gram drone. Can I take it to Turkey and use it in Turkey. Please answer me. I am going to Turkey from Dubai the day after tomorrow. Thank you
@@businessstories3388 Hi, I also want to take my dji mini2 in a few months. How was your experince and did you have any issues when taking it there and flying it?
Flying a drone in Turkey is a big issue. Turkey takes drones very seriously. If you don't believe me, fly a drone in a prohibited area, air radars will report you to the police immediately.
Yes but be aware that are many restricted places the airport is very close in Antalya so fly only in quiet places away from jandarma Police and crowded areas
Does this still apply? I keep getting conflicting stories and unsure if I'm able to take mine despite having both flyer and operator license and registration with civil aviation
Yes everything still applies if you’re flying a mini Under 250 g there’s no real problems, Anything above that they could take it off you at the airport on the way in unless you have Turkish pilots license and your drone is registered with the civil aviation In Turkey
@mickandtrudie appreciate the quick response. Marmaris is my go to place and eventual retirement spot..it's so easy to fall in love with Turkiye and their way of life. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
That website is a joke won’t let you do anything without a Turkish id number. Seems impossible to get any communication or even granted authorisation. Anybody had any luck ?
Can you suggest if anything needs to be done in this case: 1. I have Ikamet in Turkey - temporal residency. 2. I bought DJI mini 3 pro from abroad. Drone is under 500g. Do I need any permits to fly the drone?
Look it’s a really grey area in Turkey officially there are only a few places where anyone can fly a drone all I will say is if you fly away from people and town centres and archaeological ruins you probably won’t have a problem but if you had a permit and some details of a permit written on your drone if you were stopped you have a better chance of not being arrested and losing your drone
hey, I was wondering if it is alright to bring my 249g DJI Mini 2, if anything has changed in the meantime regarding the need for registration and flight authorization. I can't find anything that is not ambiguous on the internet. thanks for your time.
Yes under 250 g is legally allowed into the country however to fly any where which is populated or Near a jandarma, city or ancient ruin needs permission 🤠
Hi ZT we don't need any license to fly a drone under 500g - That's why we have a small DJI spark which is 350g so no permission, registration or licence needed. We do have to be careful to only fly in permitted areas. The Turkish Aviation site has a map showing you permitted areas. You will need a Turkish ID to be able to access the map. Hope that helps - Chris
Hello, I live in the Netherlands and I am coming to Turkey in March to get married. I want to bring a 250 gram DJI mini pro 3. Will there be any problems?
Im interested in knowing if they actually weighed your drone. I got the dji 2s which weighs around 590 grams. Hate not being able to take ti because of 90 grams
It seems as though your videos are paralleling my mental inquiries lately. I've 18 months before I retire to Turkey and was just looking at drones to bring over (not anymore). Be prepared for a jar or two in Fetiye. :)
Obviously just seen this video but over two years old now, we’re coming to marmaris in June and we’re wanting to bring our mini 2 which is sub 250, is this acceptable without forms etc I’m struggling to get the correct answer anywhere 😂
@@mickandtrudie thank you for responding so quickly so best not to bother then ? Haha I wanted to get some drone footage around the bay etc but I don’t fancy the £1000 fine
Hmm. Interesting. Did not hear about getting a license. I have a mavic air and a Phantom 3. Got the phantom 3 in 2016. Bought it here. At the time all I saw on the website was the weight limit and having to register it. Never heard of a license. I logged in..... been a few years..... I see my register drone. I dont see any thing about a license. I know ,in the states, you need a license to film for profit. Called a Part 103. Are you confusing commercial flying with recreational flying?
Hi, just finding all this out BECAUSE I am going to Istanbul next week and I have a Mavic Air 2s BUT I have no intention of flying it in Turkey. I will have it for other parts of the trip. Can I fill out the forms and have them with me on arrival? If they confiscated it would I get it back upon leaving? So confusing.
For a mavic air 2 you need a licence to to fly anywhere in Türkiye, yes if they find it, you could be fined and loose your drone, bring a mini instead no problems 🤠
Hi Mick! Ken Grubb from Turkey Central here. I live in Antalya. I was surprised to find that drones are freely sold in Turkey. But after I bought one, I looked into the legalities of flying it. From what I learned, if I wanted to fly it, I had to fill out a form at the Antalya governorship explaining why I was flying the drone and exactly when (date and time), and what I was taking videos or photos of. Then the governorship would contact the security directorate to ask approval from them. Then I would have to go back to the governorship to get a letter approving the flight to show to any policemen or local authorities who might challenge me as I was trying to fly it. That applies even if I want to fly the drone five feet in the air and take a single photo of myself. That's different from what you were told apparently, which isn't unusual of course. I just thought I'd share my own experience here. Great suggestion though... buy footage from a drone company that already has permission!
Hi, great video, very informative. I have a mini 3 and will visit Kalkan for the umpteenth time in September, being less than 250g would this be ok to bring in? Thanks, keep up the great video's.
Hi, planning to travel to ANTALYA TURKEY too this month with my mini 3 pro. apparently, i don't know whether I should take it with me. Have you been able to find any information, please?
Almost no application to the civil authorities to fly any drone in Turkey gets a permit. So forget it, and fly at your own risk in isolated spots away from people and civilization.
@@mickandtrudie hi Mick Thank you for the prompt reply, but any titles would be appreciated. Especially on this particular video. Greetings from Birmingham
Im currently in USA planning a trip to Turkey for the month of June. Im also a Turkish citizen, so registering my DJI Mavic Air 2 is concerning given the time sensitivity. Id need IHA 0 permission; would going to the consulate expedite this process?
@@mickandtrudie even if you get the permissions, over big cities there are long range high altitude gps jammers against air attacks which could be realized by using radio controlled gps equipped drones or planes. in addition to that, over no fly zones, especially military has anti drone rifles. please beware. there were several crashed drone stories heard these days. so fly with ATTI mode and by seeing where you are going to.
Bro I brought my drone from the uae to turkey TWICE there is no such thing as confiscating at airport ! I also brought electronics with me (personal use though), they will not pickup ur stuff at the airport this is silly with due respect to you, I don’t have a kimlik I was still a tourist…
@@mickandtrudie I don't think so I did it 3 times ! The only time they confiscated stuff was for my South African friend they seized his GOLD but for electronics it's bot the case at least not now ..

You can bring in a drone 250g but officially to fly it you need permission, but it a grey area, Don’t fly in town centres and don’t fly near any gendarmerie, stick to the usual rules of any drone, ruins also need permission 🤠
@@mickandtrudie can you tell me where I can find the information about ruins needing permission on the official website? and (how) can i apply without any turkish id? We are flying on saturday to izmir and wanted to take our mini2 along and fly near pamukalle and ruins nearby
Mick, I’ve recently renewed my Turkish citizenship and have a Kimlik number. Do you have a contact that could help me get legitimate permission? I have a magic air that is under 500g but I am considering buying an Air 2s that is 530g
Hey guys, I am going on vacation in Antalia - Turkey next month and i was thinking on bringing Dji mavic mini with me. Can i fly it on the beach (not over people ofc) without requesting authorization or i will get in trouble? Thank in advance for the help.
Hi in the end I left my drone at home, however when I was is there a lot of people used their dji mini drones without problems. I'd recommend not to fly it in crowded places and near police stations. If you are exploring places near sea shores, rivers, beaches and hotels there will be no problem.

Am i ok to bring a Dji mini 2 to Antalya which weighs 250 grams?
Yes but be aware that are many restricted places the airport is very close in Antalya so fly only in quiet places away from jandarma Police and crowded areas
Does this still apply? I keep getting conflicting stories and unsure if I'm able to take mine despite having both flyer and operator license and registration with civil aviation
Yes everything still applies if you’re flying a mini Under 250 g there’s no real problems, Anything above that they could take it off you at the airport on the way in unless you have Turkish pilots license and your drone is registered with the civil aviation In Turkey
@mickandtrudie appreciate the quick response.
Marmaris is my go to place and eventual retirement spot..it's so easy to fall in love with Turkiye and their way of life.
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
That website is a joke won’t let you do anything without a Turkish id number. Seems impossible to get any communication or even granted authorisation. Anybody had any luck ?
Can i fly my bayraktar tb2 in Turkey?
Hahaha 😂😂😂✅
Can you suggest if anything needs to be done in this case:
1. I have Ikamet in Turkey - temporal residency.
2. I bought DJI mini 3 pro from abroad. Drone is under 500g.
Do I need any permits to fly the drone?
Look it’s a really grey area in Turkey officially there are only a few places where anyone can fly a drone all I will say is if you fly away from people and town centres and archaeological ruins you probably won’t have a problem but if you had a permit and some details of a permit written on your drone if you were stopped you have a better chance of not being arrested and losing your drone
hey, I was wondering if it is alright to bring my 249g DJI Mini 2, if anything has changed in the meantime regarding the need for registration and flight authorization. I can't find anything that is not ambiguous on the internet. thanks for your time.
Yes under 250 g is legally allowed into the country however to fly any where which is populated or Near a jandarma, city or ancient ruin needs permission 🤠
@@mickandtrudie thanks, man 😄
Mick amca, do you think your British friends tread the globe has a license for drone????
Hi ZT we don't need any license to fly a drone under 500g - That's why we have a small DJI spark which is 350g so no permission, registration or licence needed. We do have to be careful to only fly in permitted areas. The Turkish Aviation site has a map showing you permitted areas. You will need a Turkish ID to be able to access the map. Hope that helps - Chris
♥️Thank you so much this is nice 👍

i have a DJI mini 2 and im going to turkey yay!
And?
Hi,
I also want to take my dji mini2 in a few months. How was your experince and did you have any issues when taking it there and flying it?
@@k4media685 i never made it there, i wen t to saudi arabia instead
More Videos Mick Amca. The Music to the Video fits perfectly.
Hello, I live in the Netherlands and I am coming to Turkey in March to get married. I want to bring a 250 gram DJI mini pro 3. Will there be any problems?
No problems bringing it in, but there are restrictions on flying watch the video and listen carefully
Thank you very much, I always watch your videos❤🙏
Good to know, Mick, even though I couldn't care less about the droning, but it was so welcome to see that lovely sunshine and scenery! 😀Stay well.
Im interested in knowing if they actually weighed your drone. I got the dji 2s which weighs around 590 grams. Hate not being able to take ti because of 90 grams
They know the drones and the weight
Good onya Mick Amca
It seems as though your videos are paralleling my mental inquiries lately. I've 18 months before I retire to Turkey and was just looking at drones to bring over (not anymore). Be prepared for a jar or two in Fetiye. :)
Just buy one in Turkey they are usually they say about 25% ore
Dron çekimleri harika
Obviously just seen this video but over two years old now, we’re coming to marmaris in June and we’re wanting to bring our mini 2 which is sub 250, is this acceptable without forms etc I’m struggling to get the correct answer anywhere 😂
Yes the mini two is fine but you officially still need to get permission to fly any drone 🤣😜🤠
@@mickandtrudie thank you for responding so quickly so best not to bother then ? Haha I wanted to get some drone footage around the bay etc but I don’t fancy the £1000 fine
@@mickandtrudie How?
@@mickandtrudie So do we have to fill in some form to ask for permission? Even with drones with less than 250 grs? Regards!
@@viajesvoyagestravels official yes, but no one knows the rules so just be sensible
very helpful
👌
Hmm. Interesting. Did not hear about getting a license. I have a mavic air and a Phantom 3. Got the phantom 3 in 2016. Bought it here. At the time all I saw on the website was the weight limit and having to register it. Never heard of a license. I logged in..... been a few years..... I see my register drone. I dont see any thing about a license. I know ,in the states, you need a license to film for profit. Called a Part 103. Are you confusing commercial flying with recreational flying?
Hi, just finding all this out BECAUSE I am going to Istanbul next week and I have a Mavic Air 2s BUT I have no intention of flying it in Turkey. I will have it for other parts of the trip. Can I fill out the forms and have them with me on arrival? If they confiscated it would I get it back upon leaving? So confusing.
For a mavic air 2 you need a licence to to fly anywhere in Türkiye, yes if they find it, you could be fined and loose your drone, bring a mini instead no problems 🤠
@@mickandtrudie With the Mini, do you still need a permission thingy?
@@mickandtrudie But what about flying? Are we allowed to "freely" fly drones under 500 grs? I think we all know what "freely means" (
Hi Mick! Ken Grubb from Turkey Central here. I live in Antalya. I was surprised to find that drones are freely sold in Turkey. But after I bought one, I looked into the legalities of flying it. From what I learned, if I wanted to fly it, I had to fill out a form at the Antalya governorship explaining why I was flying the drone and exactly when (date and time), and what I was taking videos or photos of. Then the governorship would contact the security directorate to ask approval from them. Then I would have to go back to the governorship to get a letter approving the flight to show to any policemen or local authorities who might challenge me as I was trying to fly it. That applies even if I want to fly the drone five feet in the air and take a single photo of myself. That's different from what you were told apparently, which isn't unusual of course. I just thought I'd share my own experience here. Great suggestion though... buy footage from a drone company that already has permission!
Hello
For DJI MINI2, permission required, 249 gram
?
has anything changed? i have found some sources saying that you don't need to regiser under 500g? is is true?
Hi, great video, very informative.
I have a mini 3 and will visit Kalkan for the umpteenth time in September, being less than 250g would this be ok to bring in?
Thanks, keep up the great video's.
Hi, planning to travel to ANTALYA TURKEY too this month with my mini 3 pro. apparently, i don't know whether I should take it with me.
Have you been able to find any information, please?
@@AK_DRONEVIEW Hi Afeez, it would seem as it is less than 250g it would be ok, its a risk with a £1k drone though, I'm still unsure.
I think you still can be ok with mavic mini and mini 2
So Turkey has not adopted the EASA regulations then?
Almost no application to the civil authorities to fly any drone in Turkey gets a permit. So forget it, and fly at your own risk in isolated spots away from people and civilization.
thanks somuch mick amca nice vlog god lucky
I was thinking to bring the drone and not use it but sell it. is it good idea Mick amca?
Hi Would it be okay to fly sub 250g drone? in antalya Thanks
Hi,

Hi Mick, I like your videos. Also the instrumental music from this video and most of your videos. Can you send me a link for it please? Thank you
@@mickandtrudie hi Mick Thank you for the prompt reply, but any titles would be appreciated. Especially on this particular video. Greetings from Birmingham
Found it!
Im currently in USA planning a trip to Turkey for the month of June. Im also a Turkish citizen, so registering my DJI Mavic Air 2 is concerning given the time sensitivity. Id need IHA 0 permission; would going to the consulate expedite this process?
to fly any drone with camera on it, you will need a permission.
Correct
No It’s controlled by the civil aviation authority is not the government
@@mickandtrudie even if you get the permissions, over big cities there are long range high altitude gps jammers against air attacks which could be realized by using radio controlled gps equipped drones or planes. in addition to that, over no fly zones, especially military has anti drone rifles. please beware. there were several crashed drone stories heard these days. so fly with ATTI mode and by seeing where you are going to.
@@coskuarsiray My drone won’t fly in these areas 🤠😇
How about if you just buy one in Turkey?
You don't need a drone to get into trouble in Turkey, a simple camera will do!
Interesting
Bro I brought my drone from the uae to turkey TWICE there is no such thing as confiscating at airport ! I also brought electronics with me (personal use though), they will not pickup ur stuff at the airport this is silly with due respect to you, I don’t have a kimlik I was still a tourist…
Your just lucky 🤠
@@mickandtrudie I don't think so I did it 3 times ! The only time they confiscated stuff was for my South African friend they seized his GOLD but for electronics it's bot the case at least not now ..
I can fly with my own wings and record. It seems more simple than these rules :D
Wow... Ok so I won't risk this fine & headache...
Selam Mick Amca, that is a wonderful drone!!! :)
Hi I'm looking to go to side antalya,I was going to take the mini 2 will I be ok to fly that in Turkey on my UK operator's certificate
What happened in the end? Did you take it with you?
I have a 250 gram drone. Can I take it to Turkey and use it in Turkey. Please answer me.
I am going to Turkey from Dubai the day after tomorrow. Thank you
Dji mini ? Yes
You can bring in a drone 250g but officially to fly it you need permission, but it a grey area,
Don’t fly in town centres and don’t fly near any gendarmerie, stick to the usual rules of any drone, ruins also need permission 🤠
@@mickandtrudie DJI Mavic Mini 249 g
@@mickandtrudie thank you sir
@@mickandtrudie can you tell me where I can find the information about ruins needing permission on the official website? and (how) can i apply without any turkish id? We are flying on saturday to izmir and wanted to take our mini2 along and fly near pamukalle and ruins nearby
Mick, I’ve recently renewed my Turkish citizenship and have a Kimlik number. Do you have a contact that could help me get legitimate permission? I have a magic air that is under 500g but I am considering buying an Air 2s that is 530g
So anything under 500g u should be fine here in Turkey or what ?!?…
I have a mini 2 do i need permission?
Hey guys, I am going on vacation in Antalia - Turkey next month and i was thinking on bringing Dji mavic mini with me. Can i fly it on the beach (not over people ofc) without requesting authorization or i will get in trouble?
Thank in advance for the help.
Hi,
I also want to take my dji mini2 in a few months. How was your experince and did you have any issues when taking it there and flying it?
Hi in the end I left my drone at home, however when I was is there a lot of people used their dji mini drones without problems. I'd recommend not to fly it in crowded places and near police stations. If you are exploring places near sea shores, rivers, beaches and hotels there will be no problem.
Thank you for giving us a place.
Has anyone in recent time traveled to TURKEY and flown a drone under 500 grams (DJI MINIs) without any registration with authorities.
bro no way i am taking my dji there😀🤣
