The named visa-free and visa-on-arrival cohorts are removed because they have an easier direct route; the remaining ordinary passports are therefore evisa, not an inferred consular-visa complement.","status":"evisa","conditions":["This is tourism or other non-business travel only. It is electronic and single-entry; the official page lists 30-day and 90-day maximum-duration products, and says normal processing is three days with application at least three days before expected arrival.","A recent passport photo and a passport valid at least six months from intended entry are stated requirements. The official guidance gives fees of USD 62 for 30 days and USD 152 for 90 days, with later extension procedures and overstay penalties.","The portal's global eligibility statement is explicit. Separately, it says it does not accept credit-card transactions from AF, CU, IQ, SD, SY and YE (as well as three codes already covered by the easier arrival schedule). This is retained as a material payment/access condition rather than silently reclassifying the passports as advance-visa or unresolved.","The portal says entry may be refused even to an eVisa holder.
