Turkey has announced it will waive application fees for residence permits for citizens of 10 countries, including the UK, US, and Australia. The decision applies to eligible applicants under existing rules. The move aims to simplify the process for foreign nationals seeking long-term stays.
The government stated that the policy change does not alter eligibility criteria, which remain in place. Applicants must still meet standard requirements such as financial stability and health checks. The initiative is part of broader efforts to improve immigration services.
This follows recent reforms to streamline visa procedures for foreign visitors. Turkey has been working to enhance its immigration system to better accommodate international residents and tourists. The free permit policy is expected to benefit thousands of citizens from the listed countries.
