Türkiye Visa Calculator

The 90-days-in-180 rule, calculated exactly the way immigration officers calculate it at the border. Enter your entries and exits to Türkiye — see your days used, days remaining, your latest safe exit date, and the earliest date you can come back.

Your stays in Türkiye

Add each entry and exit in the last ~12 months. Days are counted exactly as on the official Göç İdaresi worksheet: exit date minus entry date — your exit day is not counted.

Fine estimator

Estimate the overstay fine payable at exit. Uses the 2026 tariff (Law No. 492 country groups + ₺964 card fee + ₺9,376.40 visa fee where it applies).

Estimate only — the formula is verified against real border receipts Ikamet holds. The USD tariff officially converts at the rate on the day your violation is assessed; we use today's indicative rate. Pay at the border and exit voluntarily → short C-167 ban or none. Leave without paying → the Ç-101–Ç-105 ladder (3 months to 5 years) plus C-120 on your record.

How the 90/180 rule works

Türkiye allows visa-exempt visitors and e-Visa holders to stay 90 days within any 180-day period.

The 180-day window is rolling: on the day you exit, officers count back 180 days and add up every day you spent in Türkiye inside that window. That total cannot exceed 90.

You cannot reset the clock with a short border run — old days only stop counting once they fall out of the 180-day window.

Days are counted the official way: exit date minus entry date for each stay, with anything before the window start excluded.

Overstay penalties: entry bans

If you exit voluntarily and pay the administrative fine at the border:

Under 3 monthsFine only — no entry ban
3–6 months1-month entry ban
6–12 months3-month entry ban
1–2 years1-year entry ban
2–3 years2-year entry ban
Over 3 years5-year entry ban

If you are deported or refuse to pay the fine, bans are heavier: up to 3 months → 3-month ban, 3–6 months → 6-month ban, 6–12 months → 1-year ban, 1–2 years → 2-year ban, over 2 years → 5-year ban.

Fines are set under Law No. 492 and depend on your nationality and overstay length. Full guide to overstay consequences →

What actually happens at the border

From real cases Ikamet has handled:

The fine is paid in cash at the airport customs accounting desk (Gümrük Saymanlık Müdürlüğü) before you board — you receive an official receipt (Mutemet Alındı Belgesi). Recent real fines: ₺2,213 (2022) to ₺11,731 (2025), depending on overstay length and the year's tariff.

Entry bans carry a Ç code stamped on the notification form — e.g. Ç-102 is a 6-month ban, Ç-103 a 1-year ban. When a ban expires, the 90/180 rule still applies — it does not reset.

Over the limit at passport control? Officers can still admit you if you sign a commitment to apply for a residence permit within 10 days (Law 6458, Art. 11). That 10-day window is exactly what Ikamet handles.

2026 fees — quick facts

How the overstay fine is calculated
The fine stacks up from three parts: the single-entry visa fee (₺9,376.40 in 2026, if you're a visa-required national) + the permit card fee (₺964) + an administrative fee scaled to how long you overstayed — charged at double the residence-permit tariff. Read the full guide →
Residence permit card fee (belge bedeli)
₺964 for 2026, set annually by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance under the Valuable Papers Law No. 210. No nationality is exempt from the card fee. Official source →
Residence permit fee tariff (harç)
Standard 2026 rate: ₺348.10 per day up to one month — the first month can't be less than ₺653.70 or more than ₺3,359.90 — then ₺2,232.30 per month after that. Your nationality's reciprocity group can change this. Official source →
Who pays no permit fee at all
Citizens of Czechia, Denmark, Ireland, Kosovo, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Syria, Turkmenistan, Northern Cyprus and Palestine are exempt from the permit fee under reciprocity — but the ₺964 card fee still applies to everyone. Official source →
The real ×2 rule: late permits cost double
The border fine itself uses the single tariff — verified against real receipts. The doubling in Law No. 492 hits later: if you overstay first and then legalize with a residence permit, the permit fee is charged at twice the normal rate. Applying before you run out of days costs half as much. Read the full guide →
What's a Ç code?
Entry bans are recorded under restriction codes: Ç-101 (3-month) up to Ç-105 (5-year) when you're deported or leave without paying, C-167 for the short bans after voluntary exit, and C-120 marks an unpaid visa/residence fine. The code appears on the notification form you sign at the border. Full guide to all C codes →

Running out of days?

A Turkish residence permit lets you stay legally beyond the 90-day limit. Ikamet has managed applications since 2013 with a 99% approval rate.
