An additional question around this topic. I know the e-visa must be used within 90 days. Does that mean 99 days before or after initial travel date? So, I submitted a travel date of April 8, but will be traveling 2 weeks earlier on March 26. If I receive me e-visa before March 26 can I use it prior to my initial travel date without raising questions? Should I just plan on entering under Tourist and doing a border run for reentry on visa?

@Ruth ******

yes, I am starting to realize my mistake of applying weeks in advance. I'm guessing my projected travel date may have made it less of a priority.

@David *****

ugh! Unfortunate to hear that. What did you put as your travel date? I initially said April 8 and wondered if it was made a lower priority because of this.

Thanks for sharing the time it had taken for yours. It let's me know what to expect, or that this time is fairly normal.

Thanks all for the reassurance.
