HOW IT WORKS
One service, from plans to arrival.

Use the approved collection point. For airport collection, present your letter and documents at the designated visa-issuing counter.
WHAT TO PREPARE

Cindy will confirm the checklist for your case. Check your name, passport number, permitted dates and collection arrangements before you travel.
| Passport | A clear details-page copy when requested; carry the original passport used for the application. |
|---|---|
| Approval letter | A printed copy of the issued letter, following the instructions for your collection route. |
| Form & photos | The completed visa application, required photographs and any additional supporting papers requested. |
| Visa issuance fee | Confirm the applicable amount and accepted payment method before travelling. |
BEFORE YOU START
A few useful answers.
Is the approval letter itself a visa?
No. It supports the separate visa-issuance step. An issued eVisa is already a visa; it does not normally need a separate approval-letter application.
Can I get a visa just by arriving at the airport?
No. Eligibility and prior approval must be arranged before departure. Follow the confirmed process and document checklist for your case.
Can I collect at an embassy or another entry point?
Tell Cindy your exact route before approval is requested. Embassy, airport and other collection arrangements are not automatically interchangeable. Ask before changing an issued letter’s collection point.
How are timing and fees confirmed?
Cindy will review your purpose, sponsorship and collection route, then explain the available service, required documents, timing and fees.
Let Cindy check your approval route.
Share your passport country, purpose and travel dates for approval-letter and visa-on-arrival advice.
