What this means for your trip
An e-Visa is applied for on the destination's official government website. You upload your passport scan and photo, pay online and receive an approval letter by email.
Apply well before departure and print the approval; use only the official portal, as many look-alike sites charge extra.
Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
