| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — at least $200 USD in cash or a bank statement showing recent transactions. Immigration may ask to see this if you look like you're traveling on a tight budget. | Recommended |

eVisa processing time
Apply at least 7 days before your flight. Processing can take up to 5 business days, and weekends don't count. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
