According to this information:
Transit visas through the territory of Kazakhstan (for 5 days) are issued with the presence of a visa to a third country (the visiting country) and ticket (ticket for travel through the territory of Kazakhstan).
So you need visa of the country you are going to, and ticket. Note that you must register during first 5 days ...

I have never tried to get my visa extended in Indonesia. Take this is a disclaimer, then, for this what I know from a mix of personal experience and what I've heard from other travellers.
A lot of fanfare was made in 2009-2010 when it was announced that VOAs would be made extendable. Technically, the visa-on-arrival is extendable for 30 days in addition to ...

US Citizens DO require a visa to enter Turkey.
Presuming you are only visiting for tourism (which it sounds like you are), you can obtain the Visa (the "sticker" you refer to) at your point of entry. After you enter the airport but before immigration there is a window where you simply hand over the visa fee and they will put the Visa into your passport. ...

Here's the official announcement from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Avustralya vatandaşlarına sınırda vize ücreti. There's no reason given for the increase.
In the warnings for Turkish citizens travelling to foreign countries, I don't see anything about visa rates for Australia having gone up, whereas there are announcements about changes for ...

All you have to do is contact a travel agency to file the paperwork on your behalf several months before you plan to enter the country. If coming for business, the company you are visiting (or their attorney) can also file the paperwork for you. The program is designed to make it extremely easy to enter the country, and it has been working rather well.
If ...

It turns out the information is indeed on the Azerbaijan Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, just the link does not stand out well and the page contains at least one other broken link.
The countries applying the visa-free regime page has a section
II group.
For the holders of any kind of passports
(Diplomatic, service, (official/special) and ...

Work visas aren't going to be given on arrival anywhere (I'd be highly surprised if they did). You'd be dealing with a lot of issues regarding taxation, potentially taking jobs away from local people, and benefits (or the lack thereof) - and Governments are starting to get really finicky about actual work visas as it is. Getting work visas, even ...

I'll take a crack at this from what I have gathered.
I've flown in/out of India at Delhi and Chennai airports. Both have a separate queue that I have seen for visa-on-arrival tourists to queue up and apply for, although Chennai airport's new terminal is currently under construction and the immigration desks at the existing, old terminal you'll fly into are ...

Diplomatic protocol requires that nobody ever explain the reason for anything directly, but I can only presume it's tit for tat, as Turkish citizens wishing to visit Australia have to fork out A$110 for a tourist visa. Australia last year announced that much cheaper ETAs (A$20) are now available for Turkish diplomats and special passport holders, but ...

From Wikivoyage:
A tourist visa card (visa de tarjeta del turista) is necessary for
travellers from most nations. This visa, which is really little more
than a piece of paper on which you list your vital statistics, costs
between 15-25 CUC (or 15-25 Euro), depending on where purchased. It
can be purchased at the Airport in Cuba on arrival, ...

1) You don't have to apply for a transit visa if you are eligible for a Transit Without Visa (TWOV) concession. The rules for TWOV are outlined here: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/carriers/ukvisarequirements.pdf
Indian citizens may not TWOV in general. However, it looks like you
meet the following exception:

You don't need to apply for a visa in advance to enter the UK with a Nicaraguan passport, as long as your period of stay is less than six months, according to Timaticweb. However, the length of the visa issued on arrival is at the discretion of the immigration official who processes you at border control.

As far as I can tell reading on the embassies websites there is no reason for them to stop you at the airport at either destination. With the switch in BKK (Bangkok) I believe you will not enter customs and your luggage is automatically forwarded.
The people at Bangalore have the option of stopping you if they think you will be refused entry to your ...

Mileage varies related to the traveler's nationality, but I entered Armenia from Georgia just three weeks ago and got a 6 euro visa at the border without any problems. I was traveling on a Dutch passport. Danes and Germans crossing the border at the same time as me also easily got their visa at the border for the low price of 6 euros.
The visa fee was ...

The US State Departments website may be outdated. When a discrepancy exists, I would go with the embassy information.
This may be simply luck but I have entered Peru nine times by air and twice by land and was never asked for any proof of onward travel. The last time was by air on December 23, 2012, so very recently.

Australian Citizens do not require a visa when entering South Korea as a tourist. However, since around 2001 Australian citizens do require a visa when entering for business purposes.
A good source for visa requirements is the Star Alliance Website. For South Korea you will need to select "Korea (Rep. of)"

There's precisely one case that I'm aware of: if you're a citizen of a country that has signed the Svalbard Treaty -- and you probably are, since signatories include most all of Europe, the US, Canada, India, China, Japan, Australia etc -- you are "allowed to become residents and to have access to Svalbard including the right to fish, hunt or undertake any ...

No us Aussies don't need anything special for South Korea if we're just tourists.
I'm Australian and in the past 2 years or so I've popped in and out of Korea about seven times I think and the process is perfectly painless.
I believe we get ninety days and another Aussie sitting next to me who's just been there also recalls it as ninety days.

The site linked by Ankur gives the address and website of the Iranian embassy in Tokyo. Guess your friend didn't do his research properly:

According to IATA's TimaticWeb database which most airlines check visa requirements against (which I accessed through Delta Airlines' site), visa-on-arrival in Iran is available for:
Holders of normal passports traveling as tourist can obtain a visa on arrival, for a max. stay of 15 days, provided:
holding an e-visa pre-approval code obtained ...

From the site of The Embassy of Viet Nam:
We do not recommend visa-on-arrival and online visa. These types of visa are issued by un-recognised websites with no connections with the embassy. We cannot verify the validity of such visa and cannot provide assistance to travelers in case they are refused entry while using these types of visa. Please read the ...

They handed us these cards aboard the airplane.
We went there recently and were simply given these cards on board. It was in many ways similar to filling out customs declarations for various countries, except that the form was much shorter. The flight attendants warned us to fill them out carefully as there was a fee of 60 CUC for corrections and ...

To get a visa on arrival, you need to apply online for a pre-approval first.
There are many agencies (I used visa-vietnam.org several times), and they work fine, as long as you apply online several working days in advance. After a few days, they'll send you a visa approval document which you need to bring to board the plane.
Note that you can only use ...

My Japanese friend tried this week in Islamabad (not near the border but better than nothing), at the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Conclusion: It is hard to get, but not impossible!
The first time she tried, she was turned down.
The second time she tried even harder, and that worked!
She paid a Rs. 5000 visa fee.

As I understand after you applied and paid for the visa and they tell you it is ready to be collected at the consulate of your choice, it doesn't actually take that long.
All they have to do is sticking the visa into your passport. The actually approval process has already been done at that point. So ideally it should be possible with a single visit to the ...

A seeming oasis of paperwork-free work possibilities is Georgia, a country not yet well established in the minds of travellers and tourists from the west, located between Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the Black Sea.
Now it doesn't answer the letter of your question but I believe it answers the spirit. If not to the original asker then certainly ...

I've obtained several distinct work visas in Germany, all were post arrival visas. I'm an American citizen, who visited as a visiting professor, but I thought most visa waiver partners qualify under most jobs that grant work visas.
You might find other German speaking or Scandinavian countries follow this rule as well, but always check with the consulate, ...
