Court proceedings to have foreign divorce, debt and commercial judgments recognised and enforced in Türkiye.

Under the principle of state sovereignty, each country recognises only the judgments of its own courts within its borders. A judgment given abroad therefore cannot take effect in Türkiye directly.

For the provisions of a foreign judgment to become effective within the Republic of Türkiye, the procedures for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments must be followed.

At Sarı Avukatlık Ortaklığı we support our clients through every stage of recognition and enforcement, starting with the preparations before proceedings are filed.
