Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eVisa?+
An eVisa (electronic visa) is a digital travel authorisation linked to your passport. Unlike traditional visas, there is no sticker or stamp — the approval is stored electronically and checked when you arrive at the border.
How long does an eVisa take to process?+
Processing times vary by destination. Most eVisas are approved within 24–72 hours. Some countries, like Australia and the USA, can approve in minutes. Always apply at least 72 hours before your travel date.
Is an eVisa the same as a visa on arrival?+
No. An eVisa is applied for online before you travel and is linked to your passport electronically. A visa on arrival is obtained at the border when you arrive. eVisas are generally faster, more convenient, and avoid queues on arrival.
What documents do I need for an eVisa?+
Requirements vary by destination, but most eVisas require: a valid passport (usually valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates), a digital passport photo, travel itinerary or return ticket, and proof of accommodation.
Can I apply for an eVisa through VisaWise?+
VisaWise is an independent information and comparison site. We provide guides and link to trusted visa processing services. We do not process visas directly.
