RE – ENTRY BAN FOR OVERSTAYING IN TURKEY
An entry ban is imposed to the foreign nationals who are staying in Turkey illegally when they don’t have valid visa or a valid residence permit.
In case of an overstay of less than 10 days, no entry ban will be imposed. Moreover “entry ban order will not be issued against the foreigners who exceed the duration of visa, visa exemption or residence permit for more than ten days and arrive at the border gates to exit before a removal decision is taken against them. However, the foreigners who violate the mentioned durations of visa, visa exemption, work permit or residence permit will pay a fine.” (For more information you may consult to the Ministry of Interior Directorate General of Migraion Management –Frequently Asked Questions about Foreigners.)
The Length of ban is approximately corresponds to the length of overstayed period. Notification about the entry ban period and the administrative fine is issued at the border gates. In case of failing to pay imposed administrative fine, a foreign national might be barred to enter Turkey for five years period.
Maximum duration of an entry ban to Turkey is five years. “The entry ban to Turkey for foreigners whose visa or residence permit has expired and who has applied to the governorates to exit from Turkey before their situation is established by the competent authorities upon which a removal decision has been taken, shall not exceed one year.” (Art.9/4 Law no 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection)
Entry ban might be lifted in case the overstayed person applies to the Turkish missions abroad for the relevant type of visa. Applications are forwarded to the Turkish Ministry of Interior for approval and the visa can be issued upon the affirmative instructions of the Ministry.

Hey! A friend from Italy overstayed and the first day costed him 400TL. Then it increases but very slowly (450TL for 8 days, and about 530TL for one month). But it depends maybe on how lucky you are and who is the person that does the check-out at the border.
He checked on official websites and said it is not very clear…
Cheers!
