Turkish Passport: 2026 Fees, Calculator and Passport Types
Table of Contents
A Turkish passport application in Turkey costs 4,157.50 TL for six months, 5,454 TL for one year or 14,761.40 TL for the official “more than 3 years” fee band in 2026. Each total includes the 1,351 TL booklet. The calculator separates that booklet from the duration-based harç, handles an already-confirmed exemption and adds identical-fee applications for a family.

Special/service passports and some student applications have harç exemptions. This switch does not determine eligibility or the validity period you may receive. Photograph, translation and other personal expenses are excluded.

2026 passport fees in Turkey
The NVI fee table separates the duration-based charge, harç, from the 1,351 TL booklet charge, defter. These totals exclude your photograph, any translation and other personal application expenses.
| Validity | Harç (TL) | Booklet (TL) | Total (TL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 months | 2,806.50 | 1,351.00 | 4,157.50 |
| 1 year | 4,103.00 | 1,351.00 | 5,454.00 |
| 2 years | 6,698.50 | 1,351.00 | 8,049.50 |
| 3 years | 9,516.00 | 1,351.00 | 10,867.00 |
| More than 3 years | 13,410.40 | 1,351.00 | 14,761.40 |
The last official row is labelled “3+ Yıl”, meaning more than three years. The period you can actually obtain depends on your eligibility and age; paying the largest amount is not a guarantee of a ten-year passport in every case. Consular applications abroad have their own published charges and possible postage: do not convert an old euro quote into a current domestic price.
Student exemptions and passport types
The NVI passport FAQ describes a harç exemption for students studying in Turkey until completion of age 25. It also has a separate route for students studying abroad without that age limit, with additional document and tax-office approval requirements for those over 25. Confirm the correct route before paying; an exemption is not an unconditional ten-year student passport.
The ordinary burgundy passport is different from the green special, grey service and black diplomatic passports. Eligibility for the latter categories must be established, rather than chosen by colour. The official fee table exempts special and service passports from harç, not from the booklet charge. A Turkish residence permit by itself does not make a foreign resident eligible for an ordinary Turkish citizen’s passport.
Applying without avoidable delays
Use the official NVI appointment service or Alo 199. For an ordinary application, check the current identity document, recent biometric photograph, existing passport and applicable consent or student-status requirements. Some information is verified electronically. Use the official payment channels linked by NVI, and check the correct category before paying.
Bring accurate names and delivery details. Follow the application status through official channels. Published courier times after printing are not a promise that the entire application will finish in one to three days. Leave a buffer before non-refundable travel, especially if supporting documents need correction.
Visa-free does not mean condition-free
Use the Foreign Ministry’s country-by-country list and the destination’s own authorities. As checked for this update, the list gives ordinary passport holders 90 days for Japan and Albania, but 30 days for Montenegro. The old blanket 90-day Montenegro entry should not be used.
For Germany, ordinary passports require a visa; the ministry lists special, service and diplomatic passport exemptions for stays within 90 days in 180. That does not grant EU citizenship, unrestricted residence or employment. Visa-free entry, visa on arrival and electronic authorisation are different procedures, so a combined “113 countries” figure cannot replace destination-specific checks.
