yes I understand that part. As I'm going through the application process, it isn't clear whether or not I need to apply for the e-visa prior to coming since the US is exempt from obtaining a visa. Are you from the US who've gone through the STV app process? If so, did you have to send in your passport to the consulate for them to issue the visa in your passport OR did you get it upon arrival?
