Verified practical details
You'll need to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy before travelling. Here are the practical details we've verified:
Required documents
- Passport valid for at least three months after the planned departure. Without a valid document entry is refused.
- A document reported lost or stolen that later turned up is still listed as stolen unless the police were told it had been found, and entry is refused.
- Registration with the local tourist office or the police within 24 hours of arrival. Hotels and some holiday lets do it for you; in private accommodation, make sure it is done.
- Medicines containing narcotics: declare them on arrival; only 30 days' supply is allowed, with a prescription or doctor's certificate less than 90 days old.
Transit rules
Anyone arriving by boat must enter only at a designated port; if that is not possible, notify the harbour master or the police beforehand. The authorities may close land border crossings at short notice.
