Visitor Permits
Purchasing Permits
To purchase bundles of visitor permits, select the Buy Digital Permits option and click Visitor Permits. Visitor permits are offered as hourly permits, a maximum of 200 hours per year. If you have a valid resident permit, you can obtain 200 hours for free, however, if you do not have a resident permit, you would need to purchase 200 hours.
Visitor permits reallocate based on the date and amount purchased in the previous year, so for example, if you were to purchase 10 permits today, they would not be available again until this date the following year. You can view your purchase dates via the Payment History section of your account.
