Can you get a Tax Free refund in cash at Bodrum Airport for an early-morning international flight, and what is the process?

At Milas–Bodrum Airport (BJV), Tax Free refunds are typically processed via a customs stamp and a refund operator such as Global Blue or Planet, but cash availability depends on desk hours and whether the cash counter is open. For very early flights, it is safer to expect a card refund or drop-box submission after stamping, and arrive at least 2–3 hours early.
