The eVisa costs the same and takes 5 to 10 business days to process.

Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity and 2 blank pages. Bring a completed arrival form (available at the airport), proof of accommodation, and a return or onward ticket. Payment for visa on arrival is in USD cash only. Credit cards are not accepted at the visa counter.
