    Pre-arrival registration became mandatory for Indian visitors

    • The Indian passport must normally be valid for at least six months.
    • A successful registration is valid for six months or until the linked passport expires, whichever is earlier.
    • The signed notification slip must be used with the passport linked to the registration.
    • Each qualifying visit may last up to 14 days; unsuccessful registration requires a visit-visa application.
