No, you don't, Omar. I passed through all three last summer (from Iran & Turkey) and I don't recall paying anything in any of them.

There were insurance companies selling green card insurance but no one forced me to buy anything or pay any fees etc.

The Turkish customs will probably stamp your bike details in your passport so you'd better leave with it!

Hi Omar!

I am leaving Romania tomorrow going back home to sweden. I have been in Turkey for a month and the only country that I have had to pay anything entering was Turkey (I have been to Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria). I entered from Bulgaria and had to pay 10 Euro for desinfection and other fees (road tax??).
