How to apply for your Guinea visa with iVisa

Complete your online application

Answer a few simple questions, find out whether you need an eVisa, upload your documents, and pay securely. You can save your progress and come back anytime.

The Guinea Tourist 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 Guinean government checks passport validity, personal information, and travel plans and verifies that the required documents are consistent and complete.

That’s why every application gets a full review by one of our visa experts. We check for errors, missing information, or anything that could slow down your approval.

We submit it for government processing

We’re not the Guinean government. Once everything is complete, we submit your application to the 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: "When applying for the Guinea visa, the yellow fever certificate was the first thing immigration asked for. Keep it handy, it’s checked before they even stamp your passport."

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Spend time with family or friends
🎉 Attend festivals, exhibitions, or local cultural events

The eVisa is valid for up to 90 days, allows single entry, and must be used within 90 days of issuance.

What you'll need to apply:

🛂 A passport valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival
📸 A recent passport photo with a white background
✈️ Return or onward ticket details
💉 A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate
💳 Payment for the Guinean government visa fee and iVisa service fee

Guinea Multiple-Entry Visa*

The Guinea Multiple-Entry Visa, officially known as the VESRM, is issued to nationals of countries that maintain bilateral or special treaty agreements with Guinea.

This visa allows repeated entry over a period of three to five years, depending on the specific agreement in place, making it especially useful for frequent travelers such as business visitors.

Applicants are generally required to provide a recent passport photo with a white background, a scanned copy of their passport’s data page, proof of a confirmed return flight, and a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.

Unfortunately, we currently don’t offer this visa.*

Guinea Transit Visa*

The Guinea Transit Visa, known as the VTB, is designed for travelers passing through Guinea en route to another destination.

It is typically issued for very short stays, usually not exceeding three days, and requires proof of onward travel such as a confirmed flight ticket along with a valid visa for the final destination if required.

*Although we currently don’t offer this visa, you can apply via the Guinea government.

Guinea visa policy

Visa-free entry is granted to citizens of ECOWAS states such as Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria, who may stay up to 90 days for tourism, business, or family visits.

Short-stay exemptions also apply to travelers from Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Singapore. Most other nationalities must use Guinea’s digital eVisa platform, which supports tourism, business, and transit visas, usually valid for a single entry of up to 90 days, though some countries like the US and Canada may receive multi-year validity.

For longer stays involving work, study, or family reunification, travelers must apply for a Long-Term Visa (VLS), often requiring a sponsor and supporting documents, with final approval coordinated through Guinean embassies.

All visitors need a passport valid six months beyond arrival, a yellow fever certificate, and may be asked for proof of onward travel, accommodation, and funds. Overstays can result in fines, bans, or detention, so extensions should be requested through the official portal before expiry. Always confirm the latest requirements via the eVisa system or a Guinean embassy.

FAQs

Do I need a visa to travel to Guinea?

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. Citizens of ECOWAS countries, including Ghana, Senegal, and Nigeria, can visit Guinea without a visa for up to 90 days. Most other nationalities, including those from the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, must apply for an eVisa in advance.

How long can I stay in Guinea on a tourist eVisa?

The Guinea eVisa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days. However, travelers from countries like the United States and Canada may receive longer-validity eVisas - up to five years - though each individual stay must still not exceed 90 consecutive days.

Can I extend my Guinea eVisa from within the country?

Yes, it’s possible to request an extension through Guinea’s official eVisa platform. You must apply before your current visa expires. Extensions are not guaranteed and are approved based on your visa type, nationality, and reason for prolonging your stay.

Can I get a visa on arrival in Guinea?

Visas on arrival are available to a limited number of nationalities under specific conditions, such as travelers from the UAE. However, most travelers are encouraged to apply online for an eVisa before departure to avoid delays or complications at the border.

Is a yellow fever vaccination required to enter Guinea?

Yes. A valid yellow fever certificate is required for all travelers entering Guinea, regardless of their nationality or visa type. You’ll need to present this document upon arrival and may also be asked for it when leaving the country.

How long does it take to get a Guinea eVisa approved?

Most Guinea eVisa applications are processed within two to six days. However, delays can occur, so it’s best to apply one week before your planned travel date.
