Day Calculator
Enter dates as dd.mm.yyyy (e.g. 21.09.2026).How should entry/exit days be counted?
Does the work requirement apply to you?
Dual/multiple citizens and those born abroad with permanent residency don't need to prove any work - only trips to Turkey are subtracted. Everyone else also has unpaid unemployment stretches subtracted, since only actual work (or a qualifying benefit period) counts toward the 1,095 days.Your Trips to Turkey
You haven't added a trip yet. Add every visit back to Turkey after you moved abroad.
Periods You Were Unemployed
Only add stretches where you weren't working AND weren't receiving unemployment, sickness, or social benefit pay. Periods where you received one of those benefits count the same as work - you don't need to add those here.You haven't added a period yet.
Enter the date you first left for abroad and an end date to calculate.
Frequently asked questions
How is the 1,095-day requirement actually calculated?
For work/residence permit holders, it's the total time actually worked (or covered by a qualifying unemployment/sickness/social benefit), minus any time spent in Turkey. For dual/multiple citizens and those born abroad with permanent residency, only actual time present abroad counts - there's no work requirement at all.
Do periods when I was unemployed count?
If the work requirement applies to you, periods when you received unemployment, sickness, or social benefit pay count the same as work. Periods when you were unemployed without receiving any such benefit don't count, and are subtracted from the total. For dual/multiple citizens and those born abroad with permanent residency, work status doesn't matter either way.
Why can entry/exit days be counted differently?
The "difference method" subtracts the start date from the end date (e.g. 1-3 Sep = 2 days). "Excluding boundary days" leaves out the (usually partial) start and end days themselves - 1 day for the same example. Confirm with your consulate which convention your official calculation actually uses.
Does my qualifying-day count reset if I spend some time in Turkey?
No, it doesn't reset - the days you spent in Turkey are simply subtracted from your running total. You can make up the shortfall by spending more qualifying time abroad afterward and applying once you reach 1,095 days.
Are the requirements different if I have dual citizenship or was born abroad?
Yes. Dual/multiple citizens, and people born abroad who hold permanent residency there, can apply without proving any work at all - they just need at least 1,095 days of actual presence abroad.
Where do I get my passport entry/exit records?
From the stamped pages of your passport itself, or as an official "yurt dışı çıkış-giriş belgesi" (entry/exit document) that Turkish citizens can request through e-Devlet or a PTT branch.
Are this tool's results official?
No. This tool is for information and a rough pre-calculation only - the official day count and decision are made by your consulate.
Is any of my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything is calculated in your browser - the dates you enter are never sent to any server.
Count the days you've worked or lived abroad toward Turkey's 1,095-day paid military service requirement, with Turkey trips and unpaid unemployment left out.
This tool is for general information and a rough pre-calculation only - it is not an official document and not legal advice. Requirements, the fee amount, and how days are officially counted can change; always confirm current rules with your Turkish consulate or on the e-Devlet Gateway before relying on this.
