Hello,
If I didn’t pay my overstayed and I leaved Turkey from 12/2017 and I decided to visit Turkey again 2020 and when we reached at the airport at the passport control they told me that I have an overstayed. At that time my friend has already gone through with his passport control and he hold my little bag where my money is and the police took me at the department where I should pay my overstayed and there was no money with me again, cause my friend has my bag where my money is, and I can’t able to reach my friend again. So they gave me this 6458 15-1b. So my question here is, should I buy a ticket and go there and pay my overstayed or I should wait until the 5 years barn finished? Cause my barn will finish this year December 2022.
