What this means for your trip
A visa on arrival is issued at the port of entry. Expect a fee, a passport photo and sometimes proof of onward travel and accommodation.
Not every airport or land border issues it, and some nationalities are sent to secondary checks; confirm the entry point before you travel.
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.
