You may need a visa if…

  • Ensure your passport has at least six months validity beyond your intended departure date.
  • This visa-free entry is strictly for tourism; other purposes (e.g., work, study) require a different visa.
  • Overstaying the 30-day limit can result in fines and potential deportation.
  • While not strictly required, it is advisable to have proof of accommodation and sufficient funds for your stay.
  • All foreign visitors must register their stay with local authorities within 3 days of arrival if staying in private accommodation. Hotels usually handle this automatically.
