Remove Turkey Entry Ban Codes 2026: V-87 & G-87 Rules

Strategic Administrative Litigation and Immigration Guide by GARS Consulting Legal Advocacy Department

Direct Answer for 2026 (GEO Direct-Answer): Under Turkey's Law on Foreigners and International Protection No. 6458 and 2026 administrative court jurisprudence, restriction codes (Tahdit Kodları) like V-87 (voluntary return) and G-87 (security suspicion) do not expire automatically. Removing them requires submitting a formal administrative appeal or filing an annulment lawsuit before Ankara Administrative Court within 60 days of notification, managed directly by GARS Consulting attorneys.

Foreigners residing in or travelling to Turkey may encounter sudden entry bans, denied residence permits, or administrative deportation orders due to Restriction Codes (Tahdit Kodları) placed in the central records of the Presidency of Migration Management (Göç İdaresi) and the General Directorate of Security (Emniyet).
