The type of e-visa depends on the purpose of your stay (tourism, business, conference, long stay) and on its length. The first step of the application guides you to the visa suited to your trip.

Go to “Track my application” with your reference number, your surname and your date of birth. There you can check the status of your case and download the e-visa once it is approved.

If additional information is requested, upload the documents from the tracking page and processing resumes at once. If your application is refused, the reason is given and you may apply again.
