Visa-free visitors may still need an Entry Fee voucher before boarding
For most eligible ordinary passports, the Entry Fee is separate from a visa and must be paid before travel. A single-entry voucher costs USD 50 or EUR 50 plus an USD 8 or EUR 8 VFS service fee (USD 58 or EUR 58 total). The optional multiple-entry voucher costs USD 75 or EUR 75 plus the service fee; it allows up to five entries over three months, but the provider's guidance differs on when that period starts, so check the dates on the voucher. Exemptions include CARICOM and Vatican passports, holders of a valid Suriname visa, PSA or residence permit, some official documents and children under 3. Confirm your situation and final total in the official portal.
