What happens if I’m detained in Turkey while my CCF challenge is still pending?

Pending CCF applications do not automatically prevent arrest in Turkey. However, once detained, your legal team can present the CCF submission to Turkish prosecutors and courts as evidence that the notice’s validity is contested. Turkish judges may grant conditional release or defer extradition proceedings until the CCF issues a determination. Processing times at the CCF typically range from 4 to 12 months, during which Turkish courts often impose travel restrictions rather than continued detention, provided you demonstrate stable local ties or third-country residence.
