Why applications on this route get refused
Assuming visa-on-arrival eligibility without checking
Only specific nationalities can pay for a visa on arrival, others must have their visa approved before traveling, and showing up without one can mean being denied entry.
How to avoid it: Confirm which of the three categories your nationality falls into on the official eVisa site before you travel, and apply online in advance if you're not eligible for on-arrival processing.
Incomplete documentation
Immigration officials retain the right to deny entry even with an approved eVisa if other requirements aren't met.
How to avoid it: Bring physical or digital copies of every document, not just your eVisa approval.
