TL;DR
Overstaying a Turkish visa can result in a fine and a 1-year entry ban. Fines can be paid at Antalya Airport upon arrival or departure.
A traveler who overstayed by around 10 months in 2023 left without paying the fine and received a 1-year entry ban. After the ban expired, they were flying back to Antalya and wanted to know if they'd be allowed in or asked to pay a fine on arrival. Currency exchange and payment options are reportedly available at the airport.
A traveler asks about the actual fine amount charged at the border when leaving Turkey after overstaying — looking for real experiences from others in the same situation.
According to the Turkish consulate, fines for overstaying (in this case 3 days from the previous year) must be paid upon arrival at Antalya Airport. It is advised to clarify the procedure in advance, as payment is handled directly at the airport.
