## Evidence timeline

- **February 24, 2026 — Category Two ordinary passports: visa on arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  The effective 24 February 2026 Department notice and its current Category Two schedule expressly allow this cohort to obtain a visa at designated ports. The portal encourages a pre-departure eVisa but preserves actual border issuance, so the easier supported route is visa_on_arrival, not evisa.
  - The public notice permits Category Two nationals to board without a visa and obtain one on arrival at designated ports. It does not enumerate the operating ports, an arrival fee, passport-validity, funds, onward-ticket, accommodation, vaccination, extension or stay limit; do not assume these from the separate electronic-application product.
  - The official PDF's phrase 'with or without prior authorization' and the portal's encouragement to apply online preserve case-specific pre-authorisation possibilities. They do not defeat the notice's expressly available arrival-issuance baseline, nor make the optional eVisa an ETA.
  - The notice does not establish ordinary-visitor duration or extension. Work, residence, business-only, transit, diplomatic, official, service, refugee and special-document routes are excluded; admission remains discretionary.
