Common questions
How much does a Turkish residence permit cost for Ireland citizens in 2026?
Ireland citizens pay no residence harç - they are on the official exempt list at goc.gov.tr. Total government cost for a 1-year short-term permit is therefore 964 TL (card fee) plus, on first application after visa-exempt entry, 9,376.40 TL (single-entry visa fee).
Do Ireland citizens have to pay the single-entry visa fee?
The 9,376.40 TL single-entry visa fee applies to Ireland 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 Ireland students or work-permit holders skip the residence fee?
Yes - Ireland citizens are on the official harç-exempt list at goc.gov.tr, so the residence fee is zero regardless of permit type. The 964 TL card fee still applies. Separately, student and work-permit holders of any nationality are also exempt from the harç under Law 492 Article 88.
