  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_RESPONDE: Honest-looking not_found hides that the page states 'Apply online (e-Visa)', i.e. an advance e-Visa is the entry permission; the defect is the r2 citation overreaching into Requirements and Steps, which should be trimmed so r1 can cite that line.)
