Turkey Overstay Calculator

Turkey overstay starts where the 90/180 rule ends

Turkey overstay is measured against a single limit for anyone travelling on a visa or a visa exemption: the stay provided by a visa or a visa exemption cannot exceed ninety days in every one hundred and eighty days (Law No. 6458, Art. 11/1). The window is not a calendar period and does not reset on 1 January. It moves with you, so on any given day you look back 180 days and add up the days you were in Türkiye inside that stretch.

The statute sets the limit but does not say how the days are counted. This tool counts the day you enter and does not count the day you leave, and states that assumption on the page rather than hiding it inside the arithmetic. Where a result sits within a day of the 10-day threshold, the tool says so instead of giving a confident answer, because a single day at the margin can change which provision applies.

A residence permit is a different basis of stay and is not counted against the 90/180 allowance. If you hold one, the question is not how many days remain in the window but whether the permit is still valid. Our guide to residence permit types, conditions and renewal sets out how the permit periods work.

Turkey overstay on a visa and on a residence permit are governed separately

Turkey overstay on a visa and Turkey overstay on a residence permit are routinely treated as one question, and they are not. They rest on different provisions, they produce different money consequences, and confusing them produces the wrong answer in both directions.

A foreigner who exceeds a visa or a visa exemption by more than 10 days, or whose visa is cancelled, falls under Law No. 6458, Art. 54/1(e). A foreigner who holds a residence permit and exceeds its period by more than 10 days without an acceptable justification falls under Art. 54/1(g). The threshold is the same, but the second limb contains a justification test that the first does not, and it attaches to a permit that carries its own fee.

That fee is where the practical difference shows. The residence permit tariff applies to the period a permit should have covered; it does not apply to a tourist who never needed one. For that reason this tool asks what your stay was based on before it produces any amount, and it produces no amount at all on the visa side.

Turkey overstay fees are set by tariff and collected at twice the amount

Turkey overstay fees are the part of the question that can actually be calculated. A residence permit that is not obtained or whose period is not extended does not prevent the fee for the period exceeded from being collected, and the fee calculated in that way is collected at twice the amount, without a penalty or default interest (Law No. 492, Tariff No. 6). This is the figure most people have in mind when they ask what a Turkey overstay costs, and unlike the administrative fine it can be worked out, because the tariff is published every year.

For 2026 the tariff charges 348.1 TL for each day of the first month, and that first month cannot be less than 653.7 TL or more than 3359.9 TL per permit. Each month after the first costs 2232.3 TL, and a part of a month is treated as a whole month. The permit document itself is priced separately at 964 TL. The ceiling on the first month matters more than it looks: beyond ten days, multiplying the daily rate stops changing the answer because the cap has already been reached.

Fees are set on the basis of reciprocity, so the amount actually payable differs by nationality and some nationalities are exempt. This tool applies the general tariff and does not model nationality, because the official schedule of country rates is published as an image rather than as a machine-readable table.

Put together, the tariff produces the figures below. These rows come from the same engine as the tool above, so the table and the calculator cannot drift apart. They assume the general tariff and a stay that should have been covered by a residence permit.

The middle rows explain why a per-day Turkey overstay figure misleads. From ten days onward the first month has already reached its ceiling, so each further day inside that month adds nothing; the amount only moves again when the next month begins and a whole month is charged. A one-day overstay is charged at the minimum for the month rather than at the daily rate, for the same reason in the opposite direction.

Turkey overstay fines have no published current amount

Turkey overstay fines are separate from the fees above, and they are the part of the question that cannot be answered with a number. The band written into the statute allows a fine to be imposed on those who fail to comply with obligations set out in regulations issued under the law (Law No. 6458, Art. 102/6), and that wording dates from 2017. Administrative fines are increased at the start of each calendar year by the revaluation rate determined under the Tax Procedure Law (Law No. 5326, Art. 17/7), so the figure in the statute is not the figure payable now.

What is missing is an official table of the current amount for Law No. 6458. The Presidency of Migration Management publishes residence permit fees and the document price, but not a current fine schedule. Pages that quote a daily overstay rate, or a rate that varies by nationality, are not drawing on a published source, and this page will not repeat a figure it cannot show you the origin of. What can be stated is the mechanism: who imposes the fine, when it is paid, and how it is challenged.

The fine is imposed by the governorate or the Presidency of Migration Management, and it is paid within thirty days of notification (Law No. 6458, Art. 102/5). An objection is made to the magistrates court for minor offences within fifteen days of notification, and the decision becomes final if that period passes without one (Law No. 5326, Art. 27/1).

Where a Turkey overstay charge is paid depends on which of the two it is. The residence permit, visa and work permit fees are collected against a receipt or by affixing a printed stamp (Law No. 492, Art. 93), and they are collected in advance (Art. 94), which is why they are settled through the tax administration before or at the time the permit transaction is completed. The administrative fine follows its own route: it is imposed by the authority that processes the situation and paid within the thirty-day period above.

Turkey overstay and the entry ban that may follow

Turkey overstay leads to the consequence most people are actually worried about, the entry ban, and that ban is capped. The ban runs for at most 5 years, and only where there is a serious threat to public order or public security may the Presidency extend it by up to a further 10 years (Law No. 6458, Art. 9/3). An ordinary overstay is not what that second limb is written for.

The law also sets out two situations in which a ban may be left unimposed. The first is where a foreigner whose visa or residence permit period has ended applies to the governorate to leave before the authorities detect the situation, pays the administrative fine, and has not exceeded the periods set by the Ministry (Art. 9/4). The second is where a foreigner invited to leave departs within the period granted (Art. 9/5), which is not less than fifteen days and up to thirty days (Art. 56/1). The Exit Permit Document issued for that period is not subject to any fee, although visa and residence fee liabilities and their penalties are expressly reserved (Art. 56/2).

Both routes depend on acting before the overstay is discovered rather than after, which is why the date you leave matters as much as the number of days. If an application of yours has already been refused, the deadlines run differently, and our guide to residence permit rejection in Türkiye sets those out. If your stay is tied to employment, the work permit guide covers the permit side.

Turkey overstay charges this tool does not calculate

• Nationality-specific fee rates and exemptions set under reciprocity.
• The administrative fine under Article 102 — its current amount is not published as an official table, so no figure is produced.
• International protection applicants and holders, stateless persons, and Turkuaz Card holders.
• Force majeure, medical treatment or other grounds that may count as an acceptable justification under Article 54/1(g).
• Whether a visa fee is also payable alongside the residence permit fee (Article 56/2 reserves visa and residence fee liabilities without setting the amount).
• Entry bans arising from grounds other than overstay, and restriction codes recorded against a person.
