Rules for a specific passport
The calculator counts days against your dates. The entry mode, the counting window and the vehicle import rules depend on the passport — they live on the passport pages.
Choose a passport Russia → TurkeyHow the 90/180 rule works
Turkey uses a rolling 180-day window. On any date, the system looks back 180 days and counts how many of those you spent in the country.
Both entry and exit days count as full days. 90 days means exactly days, not '3 months' (which could be 92 days).
As days 'age' (180 days pass since your stay), they become available again for you to use.
Russians have an additional restriction: no more than 60 consecutive days. To use the remaining 30 days, you must exit and re-enter (visa run).
Belarusians have a restriction: no more than 30 days per single entry. To continue staying, you must exit and re-enter.

Visa-free entry to Turkey 2026: rules for different countries
Turkey is one of the most popular destinations for tourists and vanlifers from Russia and CIS countries. Visa-free entry is available for citizens of many countries, but with different conditions. Understanding the 90/180 day rule will help avoid border issues and plan extended RV or campervan trips through Turkey.
Stay limits by country
- Russia: up to 90 days per 180 days, but no more than 60 consecutive days. Visa run needed to use all 90 days.
- Belarus: up to 90 days per 180 days, maximum 30 days per single entry.
- Kazakhstan: standard 90 days per 180 days rule with no continuous stay restrictions.
- EU and Schengen countries: 90 days per 180 days, some citizens can enter with ID card.
Visa run in Turkey: how to extend your stay
If you need to stay in Turkey for more than 60 consecutive days (for Russians), you can do a visa run — a brief exit to a neighboring country. Popular destinations: Georgia (Batumi), Greece (Rhodes, Kos islands), Bulgaria (Burgas). Simply cross the border and return — the continuous stay counter resets, but the overall 90 days per 180 days limit still applies.
Documents required for entry to Turkey
Turkish border control may request the following documents upon entry:
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity after planned departure from the country
- Return tickets or proof of onward travel (important for vanlifers: vehicle registration certificate)
- Hotel booking or accommodation address (for campervan travelers: campsite registration or parking coordinates)
- Proof of sufficient funds (cash, bank cards, bank statement)
How border control checks stay duration
Upon entering Turkey, border officers stamp your passport with the entry date. When exiting, they verify that visa-free stay rules haven't been violated. The system automatically calculates the total number of days within the last 180 days. Use this calculator in advance to avoid border issues.
Consequences of overstaying
Overstaying your permitted duration in Turkey is a serious violation. Penalties may include fines, entry bans from 6 months to several years, and deportation. Always monitor your remaining days and plan your departure in advance. If planning an extended campervan trip through Turkey, calculate your route considering visa-free stay limits.
Frequently asked questions about Turkey visa
How many days can Russians stay in Turkey without a visa?
Russian citizens can stay in Turkey for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. However, there's a continuous stay limit of 60 days. To use all 90 days, you need to exit and re-enter (visa run).
What is the 90/180 day rule for Turkey?
The 90/180 rule means you can stay in Turkey for a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. This isn't a calendar half-year — it's a 'floating window' that always looks at the last 180 days from the current date.
How are stay days counted in Turkey?
Both entry and exit days count as full stay days. For example, if you enter on January 1st and leave on January 3rd, that's 3 days (January 1, 2, and 3).
What is a visa run and why do you need it?
A visa run is a brief exit from Turkey (usually to a neighboring country: Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia) to reset the continuous stay counter. For Russians, this allows using all 90 days by overcoming the 60-day continuous stay limit.
When does the 90-day limit reset in Turkey?
The limit doesn't reset on a specific date. As days 'age' and fall outside the 180-day window, they become available again. For example, if you were in Turkey on January 1st, that day will 'exit' the window on July 1st and become available for reuse.
Why can border control show a different remaining day count?
Most often due to mismatches in entry/exit records, stamp errors, manual border decisions (conditional entry), or a residence permit/visa. In disputes, compare passport stamps and request your crossing history.
