What is a Visa on Arrival?
As the name suggests, this visa is called a border
gate visa that can be obtained at the borders of
foreign countries. According to the agreements
among the countries, citizens traveling abroad can
apply for a visa at the borders of that country for
touristic purposes, however, they will be limited to
a certain period. There are some procedures for
Turkish citizens holding regular passports to be able
to apply for visas at the borders.
