HOW TO JOIN
All Turkish citizens and foreign residents with a valid residence permit in Turkey are welcome to join. Temporary residents on a tourist visa are also welcome as visiting members. However, these members are not able to attend the general assembly and are not allowed to vote.
As in most other associations, H3A’s sole income comes from the membership fees collected every year.
For the year 2025, the joining fee for new members is 1200 TL and the yearly membership fee is 500 TL, a total of 1700 TL , which totally finances our activities and helps us achieve our goals. Therefore, the prompt collection of fees is of great importance.
To apply for membership, you need to contact our Membership Officer, Şadan Korkmaz , and submit the following :
1- The completed membership form
2- A photocopy of your identity card (Turkish id or Foreigner Residence Permit)
3- A photo (which looks like you) for our members’ photo archive
4- Payment of entrance fee plus annual subscription fee (payment receipt or cash)
