Citizens of most EU and other Western countries can get Getting a 3 months visa at the border is easy for 10 Euro or moremost people, oftentimes even free. Czech, German, Latvian, Lithuanian, Italian and Romanian citizens are allowed Refer to enter the country without any visa at all[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 it's a small mountain road on the turkish side and a mountain trail on the Georgian side. Towards Iran you might chose between [[Bazargan-Doğubeyazıt border crossing|Doğubeyazıt]] in the North and [[Yuksekova-Esendere border crossing|Yuksekova]] in the South and probably some othersone east of Van. There are no border crossings with Armenia. (For [[Iraq#Iraqi Kurdistan|Iraqi Kurdistan]], there''Add 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 Kurdistan and Syria'')[[Aleppo]].
Hitchhiker In 2008, [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] had a terrible experience at the [[Kapitan Andreevo]]-Kapıkule [[border crossing]] in October 2008 when he was refused entry by a grumpy border guard who was probably looking for presumably expecting a ''baksheesh''. It took a lot of convincing to be allowed back to the truck to get back his (Guaka's) backpack. The next day there was no problem This appears to get in. [[User:Halthave been an isolated incident, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] has crossed into [[Iran]] at the ''[[Yuksekova-Esendere]]'' border easily and is sure that getting rides on the Turkish side should be no problem. He and Dario hitched a petrol smuggling van from [[Yuksekova]] to the border. There were lots of cars with the same deed on the road. Iranian side is difficult though. Bring lots of time [http://thumbingasia.blogspot.com/]!
