• An e-Visa application can be created wherever an uninterrupted internet connection exists.

• Family application and group application have been intregrated in the system for ease of use.

• Payment of e-Visa fee (single currency USD) by credit or debit card has been included in the system.

• German, Spanish, Polish languages added. First impression, best impression.

• Speed/security balance optimized.

Obstacles that we had to overcome

• Local practices did not make much sense for the users in some cases. For instance, some users did not want to enter their parents’ names in the related fields.

• Date format could not be understood by some applicants.

• Some users did not want to fill in the ‘Surname’ field since they do not have a surname.
