Remember that that there is a huge difference between entering the country with a visa that will give you 60 days on arrival (tourist) , those that give you 90 days on arrival (Non Immigrant), no visa at all (visa exempt 30/15 day stamp) and those nationalities who have to apply for a visa on arrival.
