The landing (or actually an A5 photocopied piece of paper) wasn't available anywhere but from an Immigration staffer. So you had to first get someone's attention to get that. I filled it out and leaned on the desk facing a staffer for 25 minutes while she processed other passengers. Then out of the blue she looks at me and says "Where is your form?" As mentioned, there are no instructions about this form which, so helpfully, is only obtained from the desk draw of the Immigration desk!

All in all it took me 60 minutes. Unless you've got a lot of time and patience, I would recommend trying to get a visa in advance.
