Drone Laws in Turkey: A Comprehensive 2025 Report

Turkey’s drone regime is administered by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (SHGM) under the 2016 Unmanned Aircraft Systems Instruction (SHT-İHA), which classifies civil drones by weight into four categories: İHA0, İHA1, İHA2, and İHA3. Drones with a maximum takeoff weight of 500 grams or more must be registered in SHGM’s UAV registry, while drones under 500 g are largely exempt, and foreign operators must obtain a flight permit at least 20 business days before flying. Recreational pilots can fly İHA0 (0.5–4 kg) without a license but must be at least 12 years old; İHA1 (4–25 kg) requires an İHA1
