TL;DR
Visa on arrival costs $30 — buy it only at the airport counter labeled 'Bank/Visa', not from touts or through your tour operator (they charge $33-35).
Official visa price is $30, or $33 if bought through your tour operator — a $3 difference, entirely avoidable.
Skip the tour operator's desk — they sell the visa for $35 there. Look specifically for the counter charging $30.
The visa costs exactly $30. Bring a $100 bill if you don't have smaller ones — they'll give change.
All arriving travelers head the same way to the visa counter — just follow the crowd and look for the big 'Bank' sign.
The visa fee is usually not included in package tours — confirm this with your tour operator before departure.
Only buy the visa at the counter labeled 'Bank' for exactly $30 — not a cent more, and don't fall for touts nearby.
