visa on arrival

Entry at customs

A visa on arrival is travel authorization obtained at the destination country's border or airport rather than from an embassy before departure.

Many countries offer this convenience to tourists from certain nations, simplifying entry for short stays: Americans can get a visa on arrival in Thailand.

The process typically involves a fee and brief paperwork at immigration.
