  • Visas are not issued at the immigration counter; a visa does not guarantee entry.
  • Length of stay is set by the electronic visit pass (e-Pass) emailed on arrival, not by the visa validity.
  • Travellers who were in a yellow-fever-risk country in the previous 6 days (or transited there for more than 12 hours) face yellow fever checks.
