Understanding Turkish Film Permits
Every professional production in Turkey requires filming permits. The type and timeline depends on your locations.
Types of Permits
- Municipal permits — Standard city filming (5-7 days)
- Historical site permits — Ministry of Culture (10-20 days)
- Military zone permits — Turkish Armed Forces (15-30 days)
- Drone permits — SHGM Civil Aviation (7-14 days)
- National park permits — Forestry Ministry (7-14 days)
We recommend starting the permit process 4-6 weeks before your shoot date.
