Frequently asked questions about the Burkina Faso eVisa

Do I need a Burkina Faso eVisa?

It depends on your nationality. Citizens of ECOWAS countries (such as Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal) and a few others like Morocco and Mauritania are generally visa-exempt. Most other nationalities, including citizens of the EU, UK, and Canada, must obtain a visa.

Note: Due to recent diplomatic changes, specific restrictions may apply to certain nationalities (e.g., US citizens), so always check the latest eligibility status on our tool before applying.

How will I receive the Burkina Faso eVisa?

You will receive an official Electronic Visa as a PDF via email. You must print this document and carry it with you throughout your trip. Immigration officers will scan the barcode on your printed eVisa to grant entry.

If you applied through iVisa, you can also find a copy of your approval PDF in your dashboard.

How long can I stay in Burkina Faso?

The standard eVisa is usually issued for a stay of 30 days or 90 days, depending on the option you select during application. You can choose between single-entry or multiple-entry visas. Multiple-entry visas can remain valid for up to 3 months or even longer for specific business purposes.

Can I extend my stay in Burkina Faso?

Yes. If you wish to stay longer than your eVisa allows, you must visit the Direction Générale de la Police Nationale (Service de la Migration) in Ouagadougou before your current visa expires to apply for an extension.

What is the processing time for the Burkina Faso eVisa?

Government processing typically takes between 3 to 7 business days. With iVisa’s expedited services, we aim to have your application processed and ready in as little as 3 days.

Do children/minors need a Burkina Faso eVisa?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual eVisa. You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

Can I enter Burkina Faso by land with an eVisa?

Yes. The eVisa is accepted at major land borders. However, keep in mind that travel near border zones (especially Northern and Eastern regions) is often subject to security advisories. Ensure you have a printed copy of your visa and your Yellow Fever certificate ready for inspection.

What happens if my Burkina Faso eVisa application is rejected?

Common reasons for rejection include blurry passport scans, missing vaccination records, or a passport with less than 6 months of validity. While government fees are generally non-refundable, iVisa provides a dedicated review to minimize these risks. If rejected, you may need to re-apply with corrected information or visit the nearest embassy. We also offer optional denial protection.
