eVisa (electronic visa). A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.
You apply online before you travel and are approved before you fly. There is no embassy appointment and no interview — you fill in a form on the government's own site, pay the government's fee, and carry the approval with you.

Worth knowing
- An Electronic Entry Visa does not guarantee entry. Border officers can still refuse you.
- Visa fees are non-refundable and are paid when you apply.
How long it takes
Counted from the day after you submit, and only if every document is in order and no interview is needed. You may be called to an interview at the visa office you choose.
