ON ARRIVAL - CUSTOMS AND IMMIGRATION

As far as immigration is concerned, obviously a valid passport is needed. The passport must be more than 6 months valid and have more than 2 blanks pages available for stamps. Also check before leaving home about visa requirements, particularly a multi-entry visa if you intend visiting neighbouring countries.
