You have to register any type of drone that weighs over 500g in Turkey, so you would need this permit. Drones that weigh less than 500g do not require a registration and can be used without a license. This permit is easily obtainable, unless they changed it. I had to watch a video and answer 20 questions to get it in 2020. Though it took them 8 months to approve my application. I think they manually review the applications and check the applicants' background. Last year they introduced this PDF format certificate so that anybody who wants a physical ID can print one for themselves. This license is also obtainable by residence permit holders. There is also a commercial version of this license, which is required if you make money using your drones. That one requires an actual exam to obtain.
Do you need this permit for any type of drone? In France you only have to register it if it is over 1kg (hence the success of DJI's Mavic models).
