Looks like residency cost has been reduced. Someone reported only paying 650TL for 1 year on Friday.

That's if a residency visa is the same as residency permit???

I'm pretty sure too, seem to remember the consulate site has always had a "Visa" section with 6 month, 1 year and 5 year options which have always been cheaper than Residency.

They seem to be getting very excited on another forum about this subject - this morning someone has reported a notice in Kusadasi police station and below is the latest post.

We all know what happens on April 1st - but you never know - maybe some common sense is at last prevailing................

"Spoken to the Aydin police's foreigners section just now and they say that for a British residence permit:

the cost will be 120TL (about 50 quid or 80 US dollars) a year.

It will come in from tomorrow (Friday April 1).

On a month to month cost, it will be 25 US dollars for the first month, and 5 US dollars for every consecutive month after that.

Now confirmed by the British Embassy to Voices in a telephone call at 2.15pm today"

visas and permits are 2 very different things.
Visas are obtained from the conulate and are stamped in your passport.
permits are obtained from within Turkey and come in the form of a blue booklet and do not get entered into your passport.

Istanbul emniyet has informed us that the residency cost is dropping to 120 USD per year for 5 nationalities (UK, Holland, Germany, Italy and one other). Considering what the date is tomorrow but we have some applications going through to, we will know 100% then.
