Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Start the application on the official eVisa platform with email address, passport or travel-document number, and document expiry date.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Use the emailed link to complete the personal, eVisa, travel and passport data forms, checking the details before payment.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Pay through the official platform, using a supported 3D Secure Visa or Mastercard payment card.

  4. After approval

    Track the application with the official reference number and carry the issued eVisa evidence for travel.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For eVisa - 90 day multiple entry, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
