Open your passport to the visa page and tell them you have an O-A visa. I think there is a place on the arrival card to put the visa number as well. And check before you leave.

(Y) Congrats

One last thing, when you do stamp into the country make SURE they stamp you in for a whole year. Many people seem to get stamped in wrong so before you walk away from passport control at the airport check your stamp..

Enjoy.... :)
