## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — German ordinary passports: Sierra Leone border-issued visitor eVisa** (Visa on arrival)
  German ordinary-passport visitors must obtain Sierra Leone's online approval before travel; the visa itself is issued on arrival at the border.
  - Apply and pay online sufficiently before travel; the German Federal Foreign Office says issuance follows at arrival at the border after approval.
  - This is normalized as visa_on_arrival because the visa is issued at the border, despite the mandatory online pre-application.
  - Passport validity, yellow-fever documentation, health declaration, extension, work, residence, special documents and final admission remain separate.
