How to get a tourist Visa?

How does a person get a tourist Visa? Do you just get a stamp in your passport when you come into the country?

Yes. That's it. Just go, and you will get stamped, no special planning needed at all.

Cheers.

I think it is only good for 30 days.

The real trouble is getting a passport. It took months to get mine, and cost me about a hundred dollars.

Your airline will give you the card, fill it out, and that's that. If you want an extension, get one while you are there. It may mean a boring morning in line, but its free.
Right now there is definite lag in getting a snail mail passport due to the new Canada, Mexico and Caribbean travel rules--and they all cost a minimum of $96. If you need one in a jiffy, expect to pay, but you can get one in about three days if it is an emergency. You can also get an expedited passport through official channels in about two weeks. Just plan accordingly.

Cheers.
