What is a electronic visa?

flights and accommodation are booked. Now the journey can begin? - In many countries, a visa is also necessary. Holidaymakers should take care of in a timely manner. There is the possibility for an electronic visa, but it is much easier.

Cologne (dpa/tmn) - Some countries require for entry to, an electronic visa or E-visa. In total, Liderbahis there were already more than 20 States that offer such a possibility, says Dennis Zimon, Director of visa service provider, passport olution from Cologne. "And there will always be more."

The main advantage is that travelers no longer need to come to the Embassy or Consulate of the destination country. The application for the visa can be completed online.

"An E-visa is identical to that of a classic visa - only without paper," says Zimon. Instead of printed documents, to be scanned in the required documents - for example, the visa application and the passport and on the application page for the electronic visa uploaded. It is usually paid by credit card. The confirmation of the entry permit, the traveller gets to an audit by E-Mail.

"I would always recommend to print out the confirmation and take it with you," says Zimon. Necessary but is not, under the circumstances. Sometimes it is then so that the traveler gets the actual visa on arrival at the airport, stuck into the passport. It is, therefore, practically to a so-called Visa on arrival - however, the previous Online application is necessary to be able to enter the country.

A well-known country with E-visa in India. Oman has recently also introduced a visa - you can not get the permit upon arrival at the airport. Other countries with E-visa Cambodia, for example, Iran and Uganda. Sometimes countries also offer different request paths - both online and on-site at the port of entry. So it is now also in Egypt.

The E-visa provides several benefits. In contrast to a visa at the port of entry, the waiting time is shortened at the airport. The visa application is also quicker and more transparent, Zimon. And the whole procedure is for the States to more cost-effective.
