Frequently asked questions
Is there a visa-on-arrival option for Indians?
No standard visa-on-arrival. However, holders of valid US/UK/Schengen/Japan/Australia/NZ visas may qualify for a Visa Free Transit Facility (96 hours).
Can I extend my stay beyond 30 days?
Extensions can be requested via the ICA e-service before the pass expires; not guaranteed.
What happens if I overstay?
Overstaying typically triggers fines, possible bans on re-entry, and complications for future visa applications to the same country or region. Always exit before your authorised stay expires.
What happens if my visa is rejected?
You forfeit the application fee. You can re-apply, but you must disclose the prior refusal on the new application. Wait until you can address the rejection reason before re-applying.
