Getting a visa at the border is easy for most people, oftentimes even free. Refer to [http://wikitravel.org/en/Turkey#Get_in this article] for detailed information.
There is one main border crossing each with Greece ([[Ipsala]]) and with Bulgaria ([[Kapitan Andreevo-Kapıkule border crossing]]). Going to Georgia, you'll likely pass [[Sarp-Sarpi border crossing]] or through the smaller border crossing in [[Posof]] which requires a bit more patience and time as itthere's a small mountain road on the turkish side and a mountain trail on the Georgian sidenot that much traffic. Towards Iran you might chose between [[Bazargan-Doğubeyazıt border crossing|Doğubeyazıt]] in the North and [[Yuksekova-Esendere border crossing|Yuksekova]] in the South and one east of Van. There are no border crossings with Armenia. For [[Iraq#Iraqi Kurdistan|Iraqi Kurdistan]], there's two border crossings. Only one of them seems to be open for foreigners, the one South of Yuksekova. Syria and Turkey have a number of border posts as well, many of which might be closed at the moment. The busiest one is Bab al-Hawa, connecting [[Antakya]] with [[Aleppo]].
In 2008, [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] was refused entry by a border guard presumably expecting a ''baksheesh''. This appears to have been an isolated incident, though.
