Q57: Leaving Turkey without previous shipped items
Q57: I had a container of household effects shipped here when I arrived in Turkey, for which I paid taxes and a deposit on entry. I am now looking to leave Turkey and head back to the UK. I would like to leave the house furnished and give away a lot of my stuff so that I don't have to pay to ship it all to the UK. I realize that my deposit would be forfeited (1,600TL). I have been told that if I don't renew the permit for my household effects they triple the deposit amount and fine me. They say "what comes into Turkey must go out", but does anyone know what happens if I leave Turkey leaving behind everything I paid tax and the deposit on?
