The conditional e-visa is issued to several nationalities on the basis of a valid Schengen, UK, US or Irish visa, or a residence permit from one of those areas.
The supporting document must be valid on the day of entry, not only on the day of application. Expired documents are the main reason for refusal.
Hotel reservation and proof of funds may also be requested at the counter.
