What is an electronic visa?
Simply put, the traditional paper visa is "electronic", and all the information of the passport holder's visa is stored in the system of the visa issuing authority in the form of "electronic".
After the electronic visa is successfully processed, the visa can be printed and used.
In use, there is no difference between an electronic visa and a sticker. The only difference is the sticker. You need to give your passport to the consulate, and then the consulate will put a visa paper on the visa page of your passport.
E-visa, on the other hand, does not need to hand in your passport to the consulate, and there is no visa paper for your country. Of course, during your trip, your passport will still be stamped with the entry and exit stamp.
What are the advantages of electronic visa compared with paper visa?
Simply put, there are three main advantages.
Saving paper
I changed my passport, not because 10 years passed, but because my passport was out of paper. In the traditional paper visa, a visa needs a page of passport paper, plus the stamp of entry and exit. People who like to play a little, their passports are not enough 10 years.
The e sign is different. The electronic signature can be printed out by itself and does not need to be affixed to the passport. Every trip like this will save you a page of passport paper. If more countries support electronic signatures and more countries support n years, then it should be no problem to use 10 years for a passport.
gain time
For most electronic signatures, you don't need to submit relevant materials to the consulates of the corresponding countries, just fill in the information in official website, upload relevant materials and pay the visa fee.
For a small number of e-visas, the applicant still needs to submit relevant materials to the embassies and consulates of the corresponding countries, and the embassies and consulates will issue e-visas by mail after approving the application.
But in any case, it will save you time. The fastest time is Malaysia 1 hour, 2.5 days in New Zealand and 3 days in India.
And it also reduces the risk of losing your express passport.
However, there are always exceptions. Last year, I applied for E-sign in Argentina very, very slowly, and waited for more than a month before I came down. Later, I couldn't wait, so I found someone to make a paper sign and it was done in one day. Unfortunately, it is given once every three months, instead of the regular paper sign for more than ten years.
rescue
To save money, it should be said that there is a certain probability of saving money. For example, electronic signs in New Zealand are much cheaper than paper signs. But in most cases, the cost of electronic signature is almost the same as that of paper signature, so you should save a courier fee.
You can sign the country electronically.
So, which countries can apply for electronic signing at present, and then?
Today's article is certainly not exhaustive. It can only be said that it lists the electronic signatures of some countries that are more common in the market. I suggest you save it. When you apply for visas in some countries in the future, you may wish to search whether you can apply for an electronic visa. It may not save you money, but it will certainly save paper and time.

Quite a lot. I suggest that when you apply for a visa, you may wish to check whether there is an electronic signature at any time. Maybe it will save you money and time.
Is there a pit?
You must have it. When signing an electronic signature, we must pay attention to the fake official website. These fake official website may also be able to do it. The information to be filled in is not much different from the real official website, but the charge is much more expensive.
Even, some will receive money and do not apply for a visa.
At present, Cambodia, Turkey, Myanmar, Kenya, Australia and India all have fake websites with electronic signatures, so we must pay attention to them.
Spending more money is a trivial matter. If you idle away time or collect money, you will lose a lot.
Recommended white passport upgrade to fight monsters.
The first stage, go to Southeast Asia first. You can pay. Many are landing visa, as long as you are not black. Take care of your passport first
The second stage, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, is not difficult. There is no problem for those who have not been convicted of rape before the general materials pass the customs. Japan looks at regions at most, with a slight geographical discrimination. Singapore is discriminated against by single women. But it's not difficult.
In the third stage, Australia and New Zealand will add a developed country visa to their passports.
The fourth stage, Schengen, Britain, the United States, Canada, these four visas are not much different.
In the fifth stage, it is not easy to apply for visas from South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil.
If you are an employee of HW, the above is not for you. If you are an employee of BAT, the above is invalid for you. BAT employees' visas are basically issued once every second.
