You don'y buy anything just before travelling, the TDAC is a FREE arrival card completed online up to 72 hours before arrival

@Stephen *******

You thought wrongly. What has stopped since Visa Exempt has been 60 days is the limit of two land border VE entries per calendar year.

No, not regardless. You need 800k for 2 months before applying for the extension then for 3 months after. For the rest of the year it cannot fall below 400k. Meanwhile you are sending 65k each and every month by international transfer starting before the first extension is granted to switch to this method for subsequent extension applications.

@Eric ********

but they used to, just like many other countries 😉

@Paul ******

I know but I was replying to uou not the OP

@Sikander *******

Sounds like your agent has scammed you (lesson learned!)

Visas are valid from the date of issue usually for 90 days (unless it's a long term Visa) so don't apply too soon as it will be valid for entry usually for just 90 days from the date of issue
