This is now also possible online as an e-Visa. After the online application and payment, you will receive a Visa Approval Letter, which must be printed out and presented upon arrival. The visa is then stamped into the passport directly at the airport.

If the visa is issued directly upon entry, the fees must be paid in US dollars in cash. When entering the country, a look at return or onward flight tickets is usually required. Carry your passport with visa and/or entry stamp and, if applicable, the separate residence and work permit with you at all times.
