Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete documentation
Missing a required document or an unreadable scan is a common cause of refusal or delay.
How to avoid it: Check every upload is a clear, correctly-sized scan before submitting.
Entering through a non-designated border gate
E-Visa holders must use one of the government's approved international border gates, arriving elsewhere can mean denied entry even with a valid e-Visa.
How to avoid it: Check the current list of approved border gates on the e-Visa portal before booking travel.
