Many nationalities are eligible for the convenient e-Tourist Visa, which can be applied for online and allows short visits for sightseeing, leisure, and casual travel.

Depending on nationality, visitors may receive e-Tourist Visas valid for 30 days, 1 year, or 5 years, typically with multiple entry options.
