Applicants near the competent post may instead attend biometric enrolment. In both cases, approval precedes travel; the border step does not make this visa_on_arrival.","MINREX indicates normal processing within 72 hours after preregistration and express processing within 24 hours, but issuance is discretionary and individual documentary, health, security and admission requirements remain applicable.","The short-stay visa may serve temporary visitors travelling as tourists or businesspersons and cannot exceed six months.
