  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: s.8(1)(a) evidence items are proven, but citation 4 only says 'Your eVisa is invalid...'; the mismatch-with-travel-document condition is not in the cited text.)

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Where a visa is required it is applied for online through the eVisa platform (or, for eligible nationals, obtained on arrival); a visitor wishing to stay longer than stated on arrival must report in person to an Immigration Officer, and an extension of the visitor's entry certificate must be endorsed by an authorised Immigration Officer.
