Who does not pay the passport duty?

According to the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, the following groups can get an ordinary passport free of duty:

• Students continuing their education in Türkiye who have not completed age 25. If student status can be verified in the system, a separate student certificate is not requested.
• Students studying abroad; there is no age limit for this group. Those over 25 must submit documents showing their student status abroad that carry the required approvals.
• People going to foreign countries for education.
• Airline flight crew personnel.
• People going abroad for master's and doctoral studies under certain conditions.
• People going abroad for specific purposes with the permission of a rectorate, deanery or vocational school directorate.

Special (green) and service (grey) passports

Special-stamped (green) and service-stamped (grey) passports are exempt from the duty. Being a public employee alone does not give everyone a duty-free passport; a person who meets the legal conditions can get a special-stamped passport, or a service-stamped one depending on the nature of the duty. Working in the private sector does not provide an exemption from the burgundy passport duty.
