Visa on arrival is not a guarantee of entry; officers still exercise discretion at the counter.

What to carry regardless

Return ticket, confirmed hotel booking, proof of sufficient funds, travel insurance and a printed itinerary. Even where nothing is formally required, presenting these calmly ends most secondary questioning quickly.

Keep six months of validity on the passport and two blank pages minimum.

Building a travel history

Visa officers for harder destinations look at your travel record. Visiting accessible countries first, and always returning within the permitted stay, builds the profile that later applications rely on.

Never overstay. A single overstay follows you across embassies for years.
