The visa fee is USD 50, which is also payable in GBP or EUR. On-arrival visas are valid for three months.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that your passport has at least six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
