You live in Tonga on another passport?

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing time and tips
The observed processing time is 7 business days.

Common mistakes
Using an unofficial intermediary website often means paying a surcharge for a service the government portal provides directly, so make sure the address is immigration.gov.ag before any payment. Another common error is a typo in the name or passport number, which can lead to a refusal or a new application. Finally, counting on a visa on arrival is a mistake: this option is not open to Tongan travellers, who must board with an e-Visa already approved.
