How much does it cost to obtain a residence permit in Turkey?

The cost of a residence permit consists of several parts:

• cost of the residence permit card;
• state fee for residence permit;
• health insurance;
• photos;
• notarized translations;
• apostilles (paid in the country of issue of the document or at the consulate of that country in Turkey)
• certificates from the municipality and bank statements
• Possible escort services.

In 2026, the official cost of a residence permit card is 964 TL. There is no exemption from this fee for citizenship applicants: all applicants must pay for the card.

The state fee is paid separately. For example, for Russian citizens, the residence permit fee is $7 for the first month and $1.50 for each subsequent month.

Important: The amounts in the table are in US dollars, but the final amount payable upon application is calculated by the e-İkamet. The official Göç İdaresi website states that applicants can view the fee amount and card price after completing their online application in the e-İkamet system.
