What the community said

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.
