High remote-arrival volume plus multi-unit kat-malikleri rules make KBS-ready check-in and a valid 7464 izin belgesi essential before keys go out; konaklama vergisi is national (1% through end-2026).

Country context
Law 1774 + KBS require day-to-day guest identity records and instant police notification for every lodging type (including günübirlik / tourism-purpose housing). Law 7464 needs a Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı izin belgesi and plaket before ≤100-day residential lets. National konaklama vergisi applies (statutory 2%; CB Kararı 11263 sets 1% from 1 May–31 Dec 2026). EU candidate — not EU / not Schengen / not EaP; KVKK (6698) applies, not GDPR.
Remote arrival works when Law 1774 / KBS-ready guest identity data is captured before access — filing is instant to police terminals; a booking confirmation is not a kimlik bildirimi. Confirm the 7464 izin belgesi on ≤100-day residential stock before scaling keyboxes.
