The official clarification on residence-permit fees
In its 30 April 2026 notice, Türkiye’s migration authority said residence-permit fees had not changed. This is a dated clarification, not a guarantee that future fees will remain fixed.
What changed
The official notice rejects the fee-change claim and explains that fees follow the relevant law and the Ministry of Finance’s annual determination.
Who is affected
Residence-permit applicants budgeting amid conflicting reports about fees.
Why it matters
The original clarification helps distinguish a fee-hike claim from the amount applicable to your own application.
What to do next
Before paying, check the official fee reference and the amount relevant to your nationality and application circumstances.
