Submit the application several days before departure, as the e-Visa is not always approved instantly. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from a risk country, so check your itinerary. Confirm that names match your passport.

Do not use middleman sites imitating the official portal and charging inflated fees. Do not overlook the possible yellow-fever requirement if you transit through an affected country. A passport with under 6 months of validity may lead to refused entry.
