Türkiye said on Monday it had increased the departure fee for Turkish citizens flying to international destinations by 233 per cent to enhance tax revenue.
According to the Turkish Revenue Administration, citizens travelling abroad on international flights are now to pay 500 Turkish liras ($14.89) for the exit tax stamp starting at midnight.
To prevent potential inconveniences at border crossings, the administration has allowed travellers to make the fee payments in advance and introduced an online option.
