Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you go. Immigration officers are strict about this.
Stay cannot be extended
The 90-day visa-free stay is not extendable. Plan your trip accordingly. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter or apply for a visa before traveling.
