Lucky holders of diplomatic passports on private travel may receive a visa free of charge upon arrival from a Turkish embassy or consulate, or obtain one upon arrival at the port of entry for $45. All travelers are advised to obtain entry stamps at the first port of entry on the passport page containing their visa prior to transferring to domestic flights. Failure to obtain entry stamps at the port of entry has occasionally resulted in serious difficulties for travelers when they attempt to depart the country.
