Validity and stay are separate rules. Official wording also requires exit no later than the visa-validity end date. Do not read 120 days as permitted stay or 30 days as visa validity.

Application feeWhat's this fee?
Unknown

Official fee wording is an approximate composite (consular + bank + verification, exchange fluctuations)—not a clean primary amount. Invitation/confirmation non-requirements and passport machine-readable and six-month validity conditions remain Unknown until an official source states them clearly. Internal travel permission is not inferred from checkpoint restrictions.
