It further stipulates that visitors will need to have their biometric data captured at an embassy.
Furthermore, parents and guardians travelling in or out of the country with minors, must be in possession of an unabridged birth certificate showing both parents’ details.
This condition applies to children 17 years old and under.

However, if both parents are travelling with valid passports and visas, an unabridged certificate is not required as it would have been presented on application for a passport.
According to MSN, there has been widespread resistance to the move owing to fears that the regulations could have a detrimental effect on tourism.
