VISAs
-
You cannot apply for a visa without airfare and hotel reservations. The recommended time to apply for a visa is January 2025. You can apply for your visa with the button above.
-
Select the TOURIST Visa. Do not be confused by the conference/convention option - that is intended for business travelers. We also recommend that you select the single-entry option.
-
Using your cell phone, take a photo of yourself against a white wall. If you wear glasses, remove them for the photo. The eVisa process will require you to submit a "passport-like" photo, which is NOT the photo from your passport.
