Hi, Guys,

Just want to share my experience today, the process went through pretty quick, I had my application(2 copy) fill out alreadyticket copy+2 passport copy(he only took one)2 photos and NO LOI, he had quick "interview" on my purpose, I insist I am a Tourist.

Tourist visa was issued for $33 USD, I don't have exact amount, but he gave my change in local currency, which actually helped me, because I did not find ATM in the airport.

Please note: according to Airlines rule, you need LOI in order to get visa on arrival, which means if you don't LOI, airline can deny you boarding. As long as you can get on the flight, you can get visa on arrival even without LOI.

China passport

As for airline rule, it's uniform from IATA, all airlines should/may check information before issuing boarding pass

I took Air Astana, someone reported no problem on Air Baltic too.
