Penalty for Overstaying Visa in Turkey

Foreigners can stay in Turkey during their visa duration. If they stay more than their visa duration, it means they are overstaying their visa. There are two possible penalties of overstay: they need to pay money penalty and also they might get entry ban for some period. If a foreigner enters Turkey without visa, they can only stay 90 days within 180 days.

Overstay Penalty Money Calculation

If a foreigner is in visa overstay, he needs to pay the overstay penalty before leaving Turkey. The calculation of overstay penalty as of 2025 is below:

810 Turkish Lira ($25) residency card fee as penalty
Twice the amount of residency fee as penalty. This residency fee is different for each country (for example, for Germany the first month of residency is $25, while for Russia it is $7.
If foreigner entered Turkey without visa, then he also needs to pay the single-entry visa fee if he is in overstay. As of 2025, it is 7,880TL ($220)
Example calculation: If a German citizen overstays his visa for 1 month, he needs to pay: 7,880TL + 2x$25 + 810TL = 10,500TL ($300) as overstay penalty.

1-2 years overstay > 1 year entry ban
2-3 years overstay > 2 years entry ban
+3 years overstay > 5 years entry ban

If foreigners don’t go to the exit voluntarily or don’t pay the overstay penalty, they receive these entry bans:

Overstay less than 3 months > 3 months entry ban
3-6 months overstay > 6 months entry ban
6-12 months overstay > 1 year entry ban
1-2 years overstay > 2 years entry ban
+2 years overstay > 5 years entry ban
