Travelers should make sure that they have a valid passport and start the application process using their phone, laptop, PC, or tablet with an internet connection. Next, to complete the application process, each traveler should follow three simple steps: fill the application form, cover the issuing fee, and wait for approval.

The processing time may take up to 72 hours; that is why online applications should be submitted at least 3 business days in advance of the travel. The approved document is then delivered to each applicant via email.
