Military Service

Please describe how one one might avoid enforced military service for men in Turkey.

you may get avoidance through those grounds as:

-continuing education at the moment for deferment

-being discarded as useless due to a permanent health defect deemed as an acceptable excuse for lifetime avoidance by obtaining a medical report from the competent military hospital

-having a temporary health excuse for deferment which is also to be certified by a medical report from the said authority

-one year deferment of a specific nature that begins in the completion of graduate degree (university graduate in turkey)

-exemption of the brother from the military service as long as his (two?) other brothers are already carrying out their obliged military services

ps. these are all I can remember but there may be additional reasons for evasion
hope this helps

Can anyone clarify this for me please. I am shortly to marry a Turkish man and we will be setting up a business in Turkey. We would prefer he did not do his national service. He has 7 brothers who have already completed their military service. Does he have grounds for exemption? and how does he go about obtaining this? Any information would be welcome

i am a british woman married to a turkish man. we are expecting our first child soon(a boy). we will live in the u.k for the forseeable future. if we give our son duel nationality would he have to do milatary service? and would we have to register his birth in turkey as well as the u.k?

Dear Konuk,
Every Turkish male, save those who are exempt from the military service on special grounds, are obliged to fulfil the compulsory military service in Turkey.Notably, one who is to prove that he have resided and/or worked abroad for at least one year may avail himself of the 2 months short military service through paying a sum of money.

However, those who possess DUEL Nationality would be exempted from the said obligation providing that he has completed - and duely proved this fact - the service in abroad.
