This page summarized what I learned about applying for an online VISA, which I do not fully understand how it works.

contents of PDF
With this content, it looks like you only need to upload your passport PDF. However, there is no place to post copies of airline tickets or hotel reservation information.
Therefore, insert the following into one PDF file.
- 1 PDF within 2MB
1. Passport image
2. Air ticket (go and return)
3. Hotel reservation information (for instance Booking.com)
Hotels Reservation Information
I thought it would be better to use a well-known site that outputs reservation information, so I included the Booking.com reservation number.
However, I only made reservations for the first day.
Result again
Fulfilled the Requirements
But “Request rejected”…..
It’s end of my challenging.
other traveller challenging
can anyone share that “proper” hotel list. I’m running into issues with this e-visa thing.
I didn’t understand about the above. From this thread, it seems that you need to make a reservation at a government-approved accommodation.
