What "visa on arrival" actually means at the gate
1. It is not guaranteed entry. The border officer makes the final call — carry proof of onward or return travel and enough funds for your stay.
2. Have the essentials ready. A passport valid well beyond your trip, a printed return ticket, and the fee — often payable only in cash, sometimes only in US dollars — move you through fastest.
3. Re-check the exact rule before you fly. Visa-on-arrival eligibility and stay length change; the per-destination page below cites the current requirement for your passport.
