Residence permit cost for Greece citizens in Türkiye (2026)
Greece citizens fall under the default USD harç tier - the standard rate applied to 158 of the listed nationalities. The residence fee is denominated in US dollars: $25 for the first month, then $5 for each additional month, paid in TL at the exchange rate on application day. A flat 964 TL card fee applies on top of the harç, and first-time applicants who entered Türkiye visa-exempt also pay the 9,376.40 TL single-entry visa fee.

Common questions
How much does a Turkish residence permit cost for Greece citizens in 2026?
Greece citizens pay $25 for the first month and $5 per additional month, converted to TL at the application-day rate. For a 12-month permit, that's $80 in harç. Add 964 TL card fee and (for first-time visa-exempt entrants) 9,376.40 TL single-entry visa fee for the total government cost - use the calculator above to convert the USD figure at today's TCMB rate.
Do Greece citizens have to pay the single-entry visa fee?
The 9,376.40 TL single-entry visa fee applies to Greece citizens only on first residence-permit applications, and only if they entered Türkiye visa-exempt (no e-visa, no sticker visa). On extensions or renewals it's not charged. The Foreign Ministry sets per-nationality reciprocity exemptions that aren't published on the goc.gov.tr page - if your case might fall under one, Mikato will confirm before you apply.
Can Greece students or work-permit holders skip the residence fee?
Greece citizens themselves aren't on the harç-exempt nationality list. But student and work-permit holders of any nationality - including Greece - are exempt from the residence harç under Law 492 Article 88: the $25/$5 harç drops to zero. The 964 TL card fee and (where applicable) the single-entry visa fee still apply.
