Entry requirements

Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months validity from your entry date, you will not be allowed to fly. Renew early.
No visa needed, but be prepared
While there's no visa, immigration officers can still ask for proof of return ticket and accommodation. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
What happens at the border

Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport and return ticket. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, where you're staying, and how long you plan to stay. Answer clearly and briefly.

Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay (usually 30 days). Check the stamp before leaving the counter.

Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to the baggage claim area, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
