The Equatorial Guinea eVisa is our most popular option for short visits. Whatever your travel plans, we’ll guide you through each step to make sure your application is accurate and complete.

We review your application

The Equatorial Guinea visa system is known for being difficult to navigate – your photo must be the right size, and your passport scan must be clear.

We check for errors, missing information, or anything that could slow down your approval. If something needs attention, we’ll let you know before we submit it to the Equatorial Guinean government.

We submit it for government processing

We’re not the Equatorial Guinean government. We’re a private visa service provider that makes it easier for our customers to apply for travel documents. Once everything is complete, we submit your application to the Equatorial Guinean authorities for processing.

Once your application is approved, we’ll notify you right away. Your approved travel document will be sent directly to your email.

💡Pro tip: "Even though you uploaded your documents for the eVisa, immigration officers may still ask for printed copies of your visa approval, hotel bookings, invitation letter, and vaccination certificates. Bring physical copies of everything to avoid delays at entry."

Equatorial Guinea eVisa

The Equatorial Guinea eVisa is designed for travelers visiting the country for leisure, family visits, short business trips, or cultural tourism. With this visa, you can:

Visit tourist attractions such as Malabo, Bioko Island, or Monte Alén National Park
Visit family or friends
Attend short-term business meetings, conferences, or cultural events

The tourist eVisa is valid for 90 days, allows single entry, and permits a stay of up to 90 days.

To apply for the eVisa, you’ll need:

A valid passport (with at least 6 months' validity and at least one blank page for stamps)
A recent passport photo with a white background
Proof of accommodation and return or onward flights
Proof of travel medical insurance that covers the duration of your stay
Proof of yellow fever vaccination
A cover letter detailing the purpose of your visit

Equatorial Guinea Visa on Arrival*

Equatorial Guinea offers a visa on arrival for certain travelers, making short trips easier without the need to apply in advance.

To qualify, visitors usually need to show a valid passport with at least six months’ validity, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and sometimes evidence of sufficient funds for their stay. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is also required upon entry.

The visa on arrival is generally issued for short stays, often up to 30 days, and fees are paid directly at the airport upon arrival. This option is convenient for last-minute travel, but it’s still a good idea to check eligibility in advance to avoid surprises at the border.

Equatorial Guinea visa policy

Equatorial Guinea’s visa rules depend on nationality, purpose, and length of stay. Citizens of CEMAC states enjoy visa-free short visits, while Turkey and Barbados nationals can stay up to 90 and 30 days, respectively. Holders of diplomatic or service passports from certain countries also benefit from exemptions.

For most travelers, the eVisa system launched in July 2023 allows online applications for tourism or business, valid for single-entry stays up to 90 days, processed in 3–6 days, and requiring entry via Malabo International Airport.

Longer stays or specialized travel require embassy applications with local sponsorship and ministry approvals. All visitors must carry a passport valid six months beyond entry, plus yellow fever and polio vaccination certificates. Immigration checks are strict, and overstays can result in penalties or deportation, so travelers should confirm the latest requirements with an embassy before departure.
