Borders
Citizens from Greece, France, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, Denmark and Chile among others do not have to pay at all - they do not need a visa to enjoy a 90 day tourist stay in Turkey. Usually there is no problem but guaka was sent back to Bulgaria by a corrupt border guard in the middle of the night.

Prices at the borders for tourist visas in 2008 are listed on this website.
