Watch out for
From 1 May 2025, a digital arrival card must be filled, up to three days before arrival (TDAC).
The visa-free stay is 30 days from 15 September 2026; it was 60 days before that, so do not rely on older 60-day advice.
The visa exemption applies to tourism only; travelling for work, study or other purposes requires the matching visa. [14]
