Can any one suggest me a way I can get tourist visa before 16 Jan. Has anyone used the e-gov protal to get tourist visa. Is it reliable, can you get visa instantly. Let me know. Any info will be appreciated Thanks

Not american..so forget about getting visa at airport..anywaz its all right i think i will go with guets stayin at a hotel and hotels can use e-gov system online during holidays or something. So i presume it can be solved...once i solve it I can give u people an update about it. So in future if there is a problem like this anyone can arrange a hotel visa if they r pressing on time.

Dear jbravo69,

For tourist visa I believe you can get it by many hotels here, did you try it?

I used to get those visas by a hotel I can't recall it is name but it is located in the Musium street.

Good luck,

Ayman

Well I booked Ramada Hotel for Guests and luckily the Immigration Office near the airport was open, so it tool around a day and half to get the visas. I was stressing out cos I thought all the government offices were closed, but thankfully the airport visa dept is open through out the holiday...

well all is set, got the visa, tickets booked, room booked...NOW...what to do when they get here..:-)))
