Turkey Restriction Codes 2026: G-87, Ç-114 Removal Guide

Overview of Turkish Restriction Codes and Entry Bans (2026)

Under Statutory Law No. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection (YUKK), the Presidency of Migration Management (Göç İdaresi) in coordination with the General Directorate of Security (Emniyet) imposes administrative restriction codes (Tahdit Kodları) on foreign nationals. These codes result in entry bans, rejection of residence permit applications, or deportation orders.

Because restriction codes constitute individual administrative acts, they are subject to judicial review and cancellation. This definitive 2026 legal guide analyzes common restriction codes, statutory grounds, and the precise procedure for filing an Annulment Lawsuit (İptal Davası) before the Administrative Court (İdare Mahkemesi).

Judicial Cancellation Procedure via Administrative Courts (İptal Davası)

1. Statutory 60-Day Statute of Limitations: Foreigners have strictly 60 calendar days from the date of formal notification or border refusal to file an annulment lawsuit before the competent Administrative Court.

2. Stay of Execution (Yürütmenin Durdurulması): The attorney petitions for an immediate stay of execution to halt ongoing deportation proceedings.

3. Evidentiary Review: The administrative court mandates the Ministry of Interior to produce tangible evidentiary backing. In the absence of concrete criminal convictions, the court orders the complete deletion and removal of the restriction code.
