| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they may check it before you reach the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number ready to show. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money | You may be asked to show you can support yourself during your stay. Have bank statements, credit cards, or cash handy — no set minimum is published, but a few hundred USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
