1. Do You Need a Visa?
Most travelers require a visa, with the exception of citizens from ASEAN countries (and a few others like Seychelles) who can enter visa-free for 14–30 days.
Note: As of early 2026, some trial visa-free programs (such as for Macao SAR or specific Chinese tour groups) may be active. Always check your specific nationality's status first.

2. Option A: The e-Visa (Recommended)
This is the fastest and most reliable method. It allows you to skip the "Visa on Arrival" lines at the airport.

3. Option B: Visa on Arrival
Available at major airports and land borders.
