Common mistakes
When you apply for the e-visa
- A name that does not match the passportType the names exactly as printed on the photo page and on the two lines at the bottom of it. Middle names, the order of the names and accents all count.
- A photo the e-visa site rejectsIt needs a 4 x 6 cm portrait on a plain white background, with the face fully visible and looking straight at the camera, no glasses, taken in the last 6 months.
- The wrong date formatThe e-visa site wants dates as DD/MM/YYYY, with two digits for the day and for the month.
- A passport that is valid for too short a timeThe passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your entry date.
- The wrong entry pointThe e-visa works only at the entry point you name on the form. If you fly in, pick your arrival airport. Arriving anywhere else means being refused.
The e-visa site states 3 working days and it often takes 3 to 7. See how long it takes and when to apply.
