- U.S. airline or ship crew members will also need a visa from July 10, 2024.
New Visa Application Process
- Travelers from the U.S., Canada, and Australia will need to apply for a visa online at least 15 days before their intended arrival, with a processing period of approximately five days.
- It's advisable to carry two printed copies of the electronic visa during travel.

What motivates you to do well in trip planning?
One hundred percent is the only way I know how to do things. This is the mentality I have when it comes to always striving to provide our customers with the best products and services possible. Knowing that what we do directly affects the success of a trip motivates me to always give one hundred percent. Knowing that our clients were able to execute a safe and successful trip is validation for all the hard work. No two trips are the same and each has its own level of difficulties and complexities. The challenges that each trip presents keeps me motivated and on my toes.
What motivates you to lead the team?
Throughout my career, colleagues have shared their knowledge and expertise and help expand my skillset. Sharing my knowledge and providing guidance to others will not only help an individual, but also strengthen our team. This, in turn, means that our clients receive the highest level of service possible.
