1 year visa now available by Hypothalamus

I spoke with an agent and was quoted about $700 for a 1 year tourist visa. This is credible because I got a 3 month VOA from this same company without any issues in the past.

Romuald

if it's 1 year multiple then it might be worth it (I said might), however if it's single then it's cheaper just to renew 3 times. Read More
