Cape Verdeans should stick to the allowable days indicated in their Turkey E-Visa. Overstaying has equivalent consequences. They may pay fines and penalties for staying more than thirty days. Unnecessary and unreported extensions could result in being banned from future travels in Turkey. If extending their stay is inevitable, they can go to the nearest Police Station. From there, they can negotiate to get a temporary resident visa. Requesting an Turkey visa extension may be subject to paying an additional fee.
