Who this applies to, and exceptions
What can change this answer
Holding another visa or a residence permit, your age or your port of entry can open a different route.
These routes are conditional. Every stated requirement must be met; selecting a document does not confirm eligibility.
Do you hold one of these?
None of the listed conditions match this choice.
- Conditional · eVisa (apply online)
A date-valid visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Ireland or a Schengen state supports the conditional electronic route; satisfy every portal condition. Carry a printed visa and obtain the mandatory portal insurance. The ministry describes a 1-calendar-month visa; follow its issued dates.
- The document must be valid on entry.
- A physical visa in the passport is required.
- Conditional · eVisa (apply online)
A date-valid visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Ireland or a Schengen state supports the conditional electronic route; satisfy every portal condition. Carry a printed visa and obtain the mandatory portal insurance. The ministry describes a 1-calendar-month visa; follow its issued dates.
- The document must be valid on entry.
- Conditional · No visa needed
A local harbour-city permit can allow sightseeing near the sea port for up to 72 hours; it does not cover arriving or departing by air.
Arrange the required visa before travel; carry a printout if using the electronic route.
Where the sources differ
The ministry and portal FAQ differ on paper versus electronic presentation. Carry the printout until clarified.
This classifies the recorded evidence; it does not announce a rule change. The disagreement remains unresolved and the displayed conservative rule is retained.
