Answer 2

wouldn't it be better use of your time and resources to make a phone call to the nearest British Embassy?

it seems to me you need expert advice.

Answer 3

I personally would not want a stay in a Turkish prison but I am sure exceeding your visa limitsmay be a great way to find out what those accomodations are like. Send postcards.

no thanksgiving turkey for you?

Answer 5

A visa is required for British nationals to enter Turkey.

Foreigners are frequently detained for overstaying in Turkey.  It is not recommended.  If you overstay your visa you will be delayed, questioned, and fined upon departure. The fine can vary according to length of overstay: an overstay of one month currently incurs a fine of 166 New Turkish Lira, about 62 pounds.



If you claim you can't pay, you can be imprisoned until you acquire enough funds from friends or family to do so.
