Can I pay for my Turkish visa on arrival at the airport in Euros?
I'm Australian, flying into Istanbul Turkey tomorrow (Ataturk airport) and I know from last year's trip that I must pay a visa fee upon entry. But last year I crossed by land from Bulgaria and this year I'm flying in from Korea.
I didn't manage to change any money for Turkish Lira beforehand but I did manage to change some for Euros which I hoped would ease a few situations where I wouldn't have the correct local currency.
Does anyone know if this fee can be paid in Euros, and if so will they give me change in Euros or Lira? Is the price higher if paying in a currency other than Lira? If I can't pay in Euros, is there a chance to access an ATM in the airport before the point the fee must be paid?

You can pay in EUR or USD (cash-only), the price schedule is posted in both currencies (link).

Answer 2
My experience is that they want visas paid for in the currency used by your country. I know the US visas have to be purchased in dollars not Euros. I have seen lists of currency posted for different countries and their visa costs/currencies, but I don't remember Australia's.
