Nationals not requiring a pre-arrival visa (including the USA, Canada, EU, UK and Commonwealth states) receive a visitor's permit stamped in the passport on entry, normally granting an initial stay of 30 days for tourism or to investigate settlement possibilities. The permit does not allow paid or unpaid employment or business without the Director of Immigration's consent. The stay can be extended in 30-day increments at any Immigration Office (BZ$200 per extension) up to a maximum of six months in total; beyond that, applicants are directed to a residence or long-stay route. A passport valid for at least six months and onward/return travel are required.
