What will be the 2010 residency visa charges?

[Stressed Eric]

Hi,
My 5 year residency visa expires on 1st January, but on visiting the passport police this morning, I am told they will not take my application until the new year and that I must return next week.

Very annoying as I will no doubt have to pay more.

Does anyone know what it will cost to renew a 5 year residence visa in 2010? I've searched the internet, but can't find anything.

[Stressed Eric]

Cheers KKOB. I will confirm the price as soon as I can get it sorted.

[Stressed Eric]

I've just had this email from the Honorary British Consulate in Fethiye.


Thank you for your e-mail of 06 January. We are unable to find a Turkish government website where the new prices are available either.
 
However we inquired with the passport office in Fethiye about the new prices of residence permit which shown below.
 
1 year GBP   370,00
2 year GBP   730,00
3 year GBP 1090,00
4 year GBP 1450,00
5 year GBP 1810,00
Residency permit book is TL 138,00
 
For more information about the new prices and increase please visit the passport office in Fethiye.
 
Kind regards,

So, using an exchange rate of 2.4 TL / £

1 year = 888 TL
2 year = 1,752 TL
3 year = 2,616 TL
4 year = 3,480 TL
5 year = 4,344 TL

To calculate the costs of a permit for any periods not covered above it's £40 for the first month and £30 for each subsequent month, However, for UK citizens payment must be made in Turkish Lira at the published exchange rate on the day of application.

So, at 2.30 TL / £ it'll cost 851 TL for a 1 year permit, but at 2.70 TL / £, it'll be 999 TL.

So why did Stressed Eric pay 3134.00 lira? I am confused.

[KKOB]

So am I !

Indirim var mi ?  Migros Card var mi ?  

[Stressed Eric]

So am I !!! I have to say, what I was charged seems more in line with what the 2009 charges were. 3134tl is what the tax office in Fethiye wanted when i went to pay.
No questions were asked when i took the receipt together with my other bits and pieces to the passport police.
Very strange.

It might be worthwhile taking some cash with you when you go to collect your new one. They might try to spring the difference on you.
