Now that the UK and Ireland no longer need an evisa to enter Turkey it is important to remember that this will have an effect for anyone making a first time Residence Application.
Anyone applying for first time residence will now have to pay a single entry tax of approx 1033tl which will be added to their normal residence tax. NOTE: this is not for renewal applications.
This has been a normal practice for other countries who have not had to pay for an evisa in the past.
