Turkey's official inflation data for October has settled the Revaluation Rate (YDO) for 2027 at 27.83%. The rate, which automatically adjusts fees, taxes and penalties each year, will take effect on January 1, 2027 — and it directly affects anyone planning international travel.
The President has the authority to lower or raise fee rates. However, with no official change announced so far, the amounts below are expected to come into force from January 1, 2027.
How much will passport fees and booklet costs be in 2027?
The cost of obtaining a passport consists of two parts: a fee that varies by validity period, and a fixed booklet cost that applies to everyone. The booklet fee, set at 1,351 TL in 2026, will rise to roughly 1,727 TL after the 27.83% increase.
| Validity | 2026 Total (Fee + Booklet) | 2027 Fee | 2027 Booklet Cost | 2027 Total (Fee + Booklet) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 months | 4,157.50 TL | 3,587.50 TL | 1,727 TL | 5,314.50 TL |
| 1 year | 5,454.00 TL | 5,245.00 TL | 1,727 TL | 6,972.00 TL |
| 2 years | 8,049.50 TL | 8,562.50 TL | 1,727 TL | 10,289.50 TL |
| 3 years | 10,867.00 TL | 12,164.00 TL | 1,727 TL | 13,891.00 TL |
| 4–10 years | 14,761.40 TL | 17,142.50 TL | 1,727 TL | 18,869.50 TL |
What will students and green passport holders pay?
- Green (Special) and Grey (Service) Passports: Holders of these passports are exempt from the fee and will pay only the booklet cost of around 1,727 TL.
- Student Passport (under 25): Students who meet the conditions are also exempt from the fee; for a standard (maroon) passport, paying only the 1,727 TL booklet cost will be enough.
Time runs out on December 31
Those who want to get a new passport or renew an existing one need to complete their applications and pay the fee and booklet costs under the current 2026 schedule by close of business on December 31, before the new rates take effect.
Doing so means someone applying for a 10-year passport would save approximately 4,100 TL.
