But it's really not an exercise I'd recommend for one-off, or infrequent visitors, the visa stamp is so easy.

The one advantage to the e-visa is that it avoids the stamps themselves: if you are crafty, and the immigration folk are cooperative, you can manage two to a page. But still, for frequent visitors that quickly fills up the passport.
Not as fast an online service as most visa issuances - after about 20 hours , I got an email confirming payment and the status changed to processing - but so far no issues with it - the one improvement that I can see would be a better explanation about the "Host" fields

With a business class booking, pearl lounge is showing for me too
