Where is the Visa Violation Penalty Paid in Turkey?

As you know, foreigners who have completed their legal staying process in Turkey, in other words, who have exceeded their valid residence permit or visa period, are accepted as they made visa violation if they continue to stay in Turkey after these periods. As a result of this situation, an administrative fine is applied to the foreigner, taking into account the period of violation and the country of the foreigner, and this penalty is called a visa violation penalty. Visa violation penalties are calculated at visa violation offices, and payments are made to these offices. In order for foreigners not to receive a deportation penalty, they must pay the visa violation penalties when exiting. In this article, we will talk about the details of where the visa violation penalty will be paid, and we will continue to inform you.

What are Visa Violation Offices? Where are they Located?

Visa violation offices are official organizations that calculate and collect the administrative fines of foreign nationals who are found to have violated visas. Visa violation offices are usually located at airports with international terminals. Visa violation penalties are calculated based on the amount of time the violation occurred after the expiry date of your visa or residence permit and the country of citizenship. If you have violated a visa and become a fugitive, you must pay the administrative fine imposed on you when leaving the country to the visa violation office. Otherwise, it is inevitable that you will face a deportation decision and you will be banned from entering Turkey at various times. In addition, in cases of visa violations, we strongly recommend that you seek legal and professional support to avoid a long-term entry ban.

What should Foreigners do if they Deported?

Foreigners, whose deportation is subject to an entry ban to Turkey, may object to this decision legally. In addition, it is possible to legally re-enter Turkey through a annotated visa invitation. Foreigners who enter Turkey with conditional entry must fulfill this condition within 10 days. Persons who will apply for conditional entry must show a valid reason that can be legally documented and prove this situation. Otherwise, the probability of rejection of conditional entry applications increases.

  1. Hi

    My work permit expired on July 1st. I applied for a residence permit before the expiry date. I finally received a decision which is a rejection of my residence permit application. Upon this, it seems as though I will be considered to have overstayed for almost 3 months.

    My questions is: If I go to the visa violation office at the airport to ask for information about the penalty and the ban will they ask me to leave immediately/on the spot?
    How long will my ban be for overstaying around 86 days?

        1. As you dont have any valid ID number that is why you cannot get any work permit in Turkey, as your case is going on you can only stay in Turkey legally untill your rejection will be resulted. However if you leave the country , you have to pay the penalty for oversatying from the date of expiry of your residence permit card
