The Travel Authorisation is typically for short-term visits. The specific length of time you are permitted to stay will be stamped in your passport by the immigration officer when you arrive at the airport.
Processing Charges
There is a fee associated with the processing of your digital permit. This includes the government levy and a service fee for the online platform. You can find more details on the pricing page.
