Hello. One question, is there any database where to check when a person was not admitted in Turkey and sent back to the country of origin? I am applying for a U.S. visa and I have this precedent so I am not sure if this will affect the visa request.
Thanks.

Hi, I was deported and was told that I am barred from entering Turkey for 6 months. However, I wasn’t given any documents to show my entry ban period. I went to the nearest Turkish Embassy to enquire but they wouldn’t tell me. Now, my 6 months will finish this month, and I am going to apply for work visa. Is there anything I need to do before I apply or I should just go ahead and apply? Your response would be highly appreciated. Thank you

Hi,
I overstayed in Turkey spending more than 90 days in 180 days. I made a mistake and re-entered turkey after I was allowed to leave with no penalty due to Covid 19. Up on my exit from turkey on my second attempt I was told to pay 460tl in Admin penalty for breach. I did not have no cash on me and they didn’t take card payments plus I was late for my flight. So I was not able to make the penalty payment.
I was given a paper that indicates I am banned from entering turkey for 3 months. This is not a problem. I am happy to wait for 3 months to go back to Turkey?
The problem is that the paper also indicates:
“all provisions with respect to preliminary permission decision stemming from the non payment of your administrative fine are reserved regardless of the expiration of the entry ban decision imposed on you”
What does this mean? Will I be able to pay the fine upon my entry after the 3 months ban has expired or what could be the provisions for non payment of the fine??
Please advise. Thank you.

Hello,
If you were deported before and received entry ban to Turkey, you can obtain a visa and reenter the country once the period of entry ban is over. If you are not sure when the ban is over, you should contact nearest Turkish Consulate to receive information in this topic.

Hi, my mother’s residence permit got expired during covid lockdown and she could not leave Turkey by the same reason. She left Turkey yesterday as soon as air borders got opened but in the airport they gave her penalty and deport from Turkey. Will she be able to apply for the residence permit again later or there will be some serious complications? Thank you in advance
Hello,
Your mother will be able to reenter Turkey once the entry ban will be over. If your mother is eligible for renewal of residence permit, she can reapply after entering Turkey. Eligibility for renewal of residence permit depends on nationality and type of permit. Touristic residence permit can be obtained only once within every two years by most of nationalities. This rule does not apply to EU citizens, citizens of OECD countries, Russia and China.

Iam liveing in turkey but illegal but i want to go back and again want to enter here but legaly have any sloution?
Hello,
If you pay a fine for overstaying in Turkey and would not be banned to reenter the country you can obtain a new visa after certain period of time depending on your nationality. Once you reenter Turkey you will be eligible for touristic residence permit application before expiration of your visa. This kind of permit can be granted for maximum one year and can be only extended by citizens of one of European Union countries, Russia, China and OECD countries.
