Residence permit fees change 'at least' yearly, so it is always advisable to check the latest fees.

The latest fees can be found on the turkish government Goç website.

My understanding is that you only pay for the card.

Plus when you apply you must have a minimum of 6 months left of your existing RP and passport.

The official government Goç website details the requirements.
It doesn't mention the 6 month minimum but that seems to be the standard.
