90 days, so you should not have to pay the £10 entry fee.

I think it is worth mentioning that the 90 days is not for the arrival but for the departure date, you must leave the country before your 90 days expire.

Not hard work at all, quite simple really.

All I was trying to say was that a visa lasts 90 days, you can reenter during that period but must leave before the visa expires, I know people who have entered and thought they were OK but when they left the visa had expired (Only by a couple of days) and they were fined.

I thought he was trying to help - all he pointed out was that its not when they return (enter the country) but when the leave Turkey

 

[Andy & Sue]

we're confused now!! ha! ha! thanks all.

It's not THAT difficult to understand ! :doh:

From the date of purchase of the visa you can enter and leave the country as many times as you like, providing that the period from first entry to last exit doesn't exceed 90 days.

If you exceed the 90 days, it'll cost you...............loads !

Cheers all

I NEVER knew that.

If you are revisiting but know that you WILL go beyond the 90 days are you able to declare on entry and pay th £10?

Yes, if you know you will go over the 90 days you can tell them and pay for a new visa when you arrive - they will not say no to the £10!
I did this last summer but it worked out well because my partner arrived in Turkey 3 weeks after me and his visa would have run out within the stay, he told them this at Bodrum Airport and they shrugged their shoulders and let him in, no probs when he left either...
Having said that I would NEVER risk that myself and he was honest but they didn't care, not sure why?

The following link from last year details the possible fines for overstaying, I think the real problem is if caught you may have to apply for Visa's before arriving in Turkey in the future, also you can be banned from Turkey for a fixed period of time.

There have been changes made the the rules since that post.

You'll find now that if you overstay by up to 14 days, you'll be fined at the rate of about 110 TL per day. However, that's at the discretion of the Pasaport Polis officer in charge at the time.

Anyone overstaying by more than 14 days, will have to apply through the Turkish Embassy in their home country for their next visa. They'll also be banned for a period of time from entering Turkey which is determined by the Pasaport Polis and they will have to pay a fine before re-entry.

The visa is for 90 days, is overstay measured in minutes, hours or days.

 

[beldibi]

It is safer to count it as 89 days, from date of stamp,inclusive, to date of exit. Different areas apply their own interpretation. It is measured in 24hr. segments, midnight to midnight.

 

[niyaz]

What if you are one hour overstay pass the 90 days

 

[KKOB]

Then you'll be fined.

 

[biggles]

the time to worry is if like me you find it ran out 4 days before you fly home . lol
