Fee set at 54,258 TL
Registering the IMEI is a prerequisite for using a phone brought from abroad in Turkey. The fee for 2026 is 54,258 TL, payable regardless of the device's own price.
Registration via e-Devlet
The process runs through e-Devlet. Users first pay the fee, then submit the device's IMEI number through the relevant e-Devlet service to complete registration.
Time limits
An imported phone can be used for a limited period before registration; the report puts this at 120 days. Registration is also tied to a three-year rule, limiting how often a person can register devices.
Who it matters for
The fee and deadlines matter for people bringing phones from abroad, those living outside Turkey who use devices there, and anyone receiving a phone as a gift. Without registration, the device cannot connect to the network.
