Frequently asked questions

+Do foreign productions need a filming permit in Türkiye?

Yes. Foreign productions must obtain permission from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, General Directorate of Cinema, before filming. The application is usually filed through a local production partner or consultant.

+Is a separate permit needed to film in a museum?

Yes. Museum and archaeological site shoots need separate approval from the relevant directorate, independent of the general filming permit, and usually involve a fee.

+Who issues street filming permits in Istanbul?

Depending on the location, permits come from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and/or the relevant district municipality. Shoots that affect traffic also require police coordination.

+Does a small handheld crew need a permit?

For commercial shoots, a permit is recommended regardless of crew size; otherwise the shoot can be stopped on location.

+What documents are needed for child performers?

A parental consent form, ID and civil registry details, and a plan covering the child's working hours and conditions. Requirements vary by age and shoot length.
