Visa On Arrival (VOA) or E-visa
- The only advantage of the code that you will get before head by E-visa is getting your visa in the airport sooner than the other travelers. VOA and tourist E-visa are the same. It means that you can arrive without code in an international airport and apply for the visa there; but if you have the code, it just goes quicker to get the visa.
- However, travel agencies will tell you it is "safer" to get the TOURIST visa before arriving.
