How this access rule is documented

  1. eVisa

    Other foreign ordinary passports: mandatory pre-travel eVisa

    The current MHAISS fact sheet supplies an explicit default: a passport absent from every exemption and VOA list cannot use VOA and must obtain an eVisa before travel. This is an exhaustive official complement, not inference from silence.

    • This residual cohort is defined only by the fact sheet's exhaustive rule: it is not on any listed exemption or VOA list, cannot apply for VOA, and must obtain an eVisa before travel. It does not support a consular-visa, VOA, ETA or visa-free alternative.
    • The FAQ says online visa processing is five business days and an approved eVisa must be printed for the immigration officer. The visitor permit at entry may not exceed 90 days in a calendar year; extensions are requested before expiry.
    • Use only gazetted entry ports and carry the general visitor passport, accommodation/invitation, funds, itinerary/onward, insurance and child documents. Work, residence, business-only, transit, diplomatic, official, service, refugee and special-document routes are outside this ordinary visitor policy; all admission remains discretionary.
Official application route

How to apply

The current FAQ says an online visa takes five business days; allow extra time because MHAISS may require documents or further assessment.

  1. Obtain the required eVisa through MHAISS before travelling; this cohort cannot wait to apply for a visa on arrival.
  2. Submit the passport and supporting visitor documentation and retain the approval for travel.
  3. Print the approved eVisa and present it with the required documents at an authorised port; entry remains subject to immigration assessment.
