Turkey 90/180 Day Calculator
Find out how many days you have used in the last 180 days, your last legal day and the earliest date you can enter Turkey again.
Short answer
Time spent in Turkey on a visa or a visa exemption cannot exceed 90 days in total in every 180 days (Law No. 6458, Art. 11/1). The count looks back over the last 180 days from the day you check; leaving and re-entering does not reset it. A deportation decision is taken against anyone who overstays by more than ten days (Art. 54/1-e).

Days in Turkey in the last 180 days
/ 90 days
Last legal day of this stay
On the day you entered, the 90 days in the last 180 days were already used up.
A deportation decision is taken against a foreigner who overstays a visa or visa exemption by more than ten days (Law No. 6458, Art. 54/1-e). If the decision is served on you, the deadline to go to court is 7 days (Art. 53/3); do not miss it.
you cannot enter on that day: the 90 days in the last 180 days are used up
This is longer than the single-stay limit you selected.
Stay-by-stay breakdown
| # | Entry – exit | Days | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| No overstay |
Entry and exit days were counted as days of stay (cautious count). The result is based on the dates you entered; the official entry-exit record prevails.
How does the calculator count?
The Law and the Regulation only say “90 days in every 180 days”; they do not define how the window is counted. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs explains the rule as the “last 180 days”. The calculator applies that explanation in four steps:
- Every day of each stay you enter, including the entry and exit days, counts as a day in Turkey.
- For each day, a 180-day window is opened looking back from that day (that day included), and the days in Turkey inside the window are added up. The overstay starts on the first day the total passes 90.
- If you selected 30 or 60 days as the single-stay limit, one stay cannot exceed that either.
- If you are still in Turkey, your stay is assumed to continue without a break and the last legal day is found. For a planned entry the same count is run forward.
For the details of the rule, stay periods by type of entry and what to do when your visa is about to expire, see the Turkey 90/180 day rule guide.
Three examples
| Situation | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Two short stays. 5 January – 14 February 2026 (41 days) and 1–30 March 2026 (30 days). A new entry is planned for 20 April 2026. | At most 19 days; last legal day 8 May 2026. To stay 60 days, the earliest entry is 15 June 2026. | |
| Still in Turkey. In Turkey without a break since 20 June 2026; calculation date 25 September 2026. | Last legal day 17 September 2026; overstay of 8 days. The overstay passes ten days on 28 September 2026. | |
| 30 days per stay. 1–30 March, 10 April – 9 May and 20 May – 18 June 2026. A new entry is planned for 15 July 2026. | Each stay kept within 30 days, but the window already holds 90 days: no entry on 15 July. The earliest entry is 28 August 2026, for up to 30 days. |
What the calculator does not cover
- Permit holders. Holders of a valid residence or work permit in Turkey, international protection applicants, persons under temporary protection and holders of a stateless person identity document are outside the 90/180 rule (Implementing Regulation, Art. 10/2). The calculator is only for stays on a visa or visa exemption.
- Country-specific agreements. Agreements to which Turkey is a party and reciprocity are reserved (Art. 10/7). If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs country list shows a different count for you, such as “from the date of first entry”, that count applies.
- Period written on the visa. If the length of stay on your e-Visa or consular visa is shorter than 90 days, that limit also applies; enter it as the “Maximum length of a single stay”.
Frequently asked questions
Does leaving and re-entering Turkey reset the 90 days?
No. For each day the count looks at the last 180 days, that day included; leaving only removes the days spent outside from the count. If an agreement with your country provides a different count, that agreement applies (Implementing Regulation, Art. 10/7).
Do the entry and exit days count as days of stay?
We have not found an official statement that settles this. The calculator is cautious and counts both as days of stay, so the last day it shows may be earlier than the authorities’ count, never later.
I have used my 90 days. When can I come back?
Old days drop out of the window one per day. Someone who stayed 90 days without a break must stay outside for 90 days before they can stay 90 days again. For a shorter stay you can enter earlier; the “How many days do you want to stay?” field gives the earliest entry date.
What happens if I overstay?
A deportation decision is taken against a foreigner who overstays a visa or visa exemption by more than ten days (Law No. 6458, Art. 54/1-e). A residence permit application is still accepted from someone who has overstayed by up to ten days (Implementing Regulation, Art. 21/2), but the overstay is still a violation.
Do I need this calculation if I have a residence permit?
No. Holders of a valid residence or work permit in Turkey are outside the 90/180 rule (Implementing Regulation, Art. 10/2-a). International protection applicants, persons under temporary protection and holders of a stateless person identity document are also outside it.
