No, there is no minimum amount. You can sell even a small quantity of banknotes. For large amounts, a prior call to 01 43 54 76 87 is recommended.

Question 3

Does the Turkish lira's depreciation affect the buy-back rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Due to Turkey's persistently high inflation, the Turkish lira tends to depreciate regularly against the euro. Our TRY buy-back rate is updated continuously to reflect current market conditions. Check the page before making the trip.

Question 4

Is ID required to sell Turkish lira?

Accepted Answer

For amounts below €1,000, no ID is required. Above that threshold, a valid identity document is requested in accordance with AML/CFT regulations.

Question 5

Can I sell my TRY and buy another currency at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can carry out several transactions during a single visit: sell your Turkish lira and buy dollars, pounds sterling or other available currencies.

Question 6

Is it better to sell TRY quickly after returning from Turkey?

Accepted Answer

Given the Turkish lira's historical trend of depreciation driven by high inflation, it is better not to hold TRY banknotes too long if you have no upcoming trip planned. The euro buy-back value decreases as the lira depreciates.
