The form is in English only and asks for your personal data, a face photo and a copy of your passport data page, then your email and the payment.

The portal says the visa is for 30 days and that processing takes 3 working days, not counting weekends and holidays. The approved e-Visa arrives by email as a PDF, so print it or keep it on your phone. Use the passport you entered on the form when you travel.

Fees for visas issued at embassies and consulates differ and add processing costs, so check the ministry page if you use that route.
