So what is eVisa?

An eVisa (electronic visa) is a digital or electronic version of a traditional paper visa. It is an official authorization document issued by a country’s government that allows foreign travelers to enter and stay in that country for a specified period and for specific purposes, such as tourism, business, or study.

eVisa is similar to traditional visa but tourist can apply though the official website of the country’s immigration or consular department. Usually, an applicant is required to fill out an online form, upload required documents and pay the necessary visa fee.

Once approved, the eVisa is usually sent to the applicant via email as a PDF document, which can be printed and carried along with the traveler’s passport. Immigration authorities at the destination country will then scan the eVisa and stamp the traveler’s passport upon entry.
