Well its finally over

[loz]

We came out on 11th May, returned 3 July =52 days.
So we were intending to return Mid September for 60days or 2 months, that means we can't as it is using more than our 38 days remaining out of 180 days, WHAT A BALLS UP!!!
Do you get the feeling we are not welcome?[!]

As Diverbaz said, there must be a way to renew an expiring visa in resort or by returning to point of entry. Otherwise the maths are going to be mind blowing.

If and I presume it is computerised to work out your stay etc at the border then surely they could place some other type of restriction on the people who are abusing the system. If you have 1 entry & exit stamp per visa that lasts about 90 days and the prvious one was the same and the one before that then they could maybe fine you the value of residencey as obviously you are not just holidaying.
I also think that if residency was priced a lot more competitively then people would be more inclined to follow the correct system.

Your first 180 day period finishes on 6th November, so after this date you should be able to apply for another 90 day visa. As you have used 52 days already if you delay your visit until the end of September, your remaining 38 days should take you up to when you could leave Turkey e.g Kas to Meis, to get your 2nd 90 days worth...clear as mud or what! check this out - it might work!

Thats the whole point, the Visa run has finished 10th October (just leaving the Country is now not an option), if it was possible to to do the visa run you still had to have no less than 65 days left to qualify, therefore, if we come out on 15th September (wanted sooner rather than later) we can stay until 23rd October on our 38 days remaining out of 180.

Now assume that when we enter Turkey for example 15th September, totally unaware of this 90/180 day rule we would in our ignorance believe we could stay until 14th December, we get to the airport on 14th December to leave and are then faced with a fine for overstaying our 38days out of 180.

Now isn't that as clear as mud!

We need to bring all the topics on visa renewal and 90/180 day visas together as it is making it difficult to find which of the 50 current ones had the post people want to refind. So moving on with:
