For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

  • The source lists these purposes in the FAQ but does not provide further details or restrictions.

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

The visa on arrival is valid for a single visit. The validity of the visa is determined by the officer at the airport based on the estimated time of the visit, either 30 or 90 days. The approval is valid for entry within 3 months.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

The portal requires a passport valid for at least six months, a passport scan, and a portrait photo. A flight ticket scan is optional. No other border evidence such as funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, or onward travel is mentioned.

  • The source does not mention funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, or onward travel requirements.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Permission is obtained by creating an account on the online portal, completing the application, paying the non-refundable fee of USD 102.5, and receiving a confirmation with a QR code. At the airport, the applicant presents the QR confirmation, provides biometric data, and receives a visa sticker. The official source does not state any extension or change of status route for this visa.

Limits of the record
  • The source does not provide information on extending or changing the visa on arrival; it only mentions a re-entry permit and work permit as separate routes.
