Tip #1: E-Visa = 2 Minutes Flat

Forget endless lines! Apply for your e-visa on the official site before departure (50€/person).

✅ Show the QR code received at arrival control → express check. E-visa processing times vary from 48h to 10 days. You'll get an email notification. Then use your file number to track progress online.


Tip #2: Immaculate Passport (Valid 6 Months MINIMUM After Return)

Travelers' #1 mistake: passport expires in 3 months = sent back on the plane! 😱 Mandatory checklist:

  • Valid 6 months after return

  • 2 blank pages

  • No photocopies (original only!)


Tip #3: Choose Your Strategic Flight Time

Peak hours = nightmare (2pm-5pm).Winning schedules:

  • 7am-10am: short lines

  • Morning: smiling agents

  • If possible, avoid evenings: fatigue + slowness


Bonus Local Guide:

✅ Name sign + direct transfer

✅ Very responsive WhatsApp during your stay
