One caution tho: the visa issued me only had 30 days validity (ie, I had to enter within 30 days of it being issued) which is fairly restrictive.
Bizarre note, they elected to give me a business visa, and then stopped answering email when I asked them why.
I didn't have any issues entering, in any case.
Alright, so as I'm planning to go in August/September (hopefully the government is still up at that time :P), I shouldn't get a visa until the summer? Fun. Let's hope the hotel thing works, I'd do like a two week trip so I'm a bit concerned about modifying such a long stay with a hotel.. But if they give you a 30 day visa, then maybe having a hotel for 4/5 days is enough?
