Apply for your Guinea eVisa online

Citizens of ECOWAS member states (such as Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Sierra Leone) and citizens of Singapore and Egypt can enter Guinea visa-free. Most other nationalities, including those from the US, UK, and EU, must obtain an eVisa or a consular visa before traveling.

Yes. Unlike most nationalities who receive a 90-day single-entry visa, citizens of the United States and Canada are eligible for a 5-year multiple-entry visa through the eVisa portal. This is a reciprocal agreement that significantly facilitates long-term travel and business between these nations.

Yes. Guinea has strict medical entry requirements. You must upload a scanned copy of your yellow fever vaccination certificate during the online application process. You are also required to carry the original yellow card to present to health officials upon arrival at the airport.

The Guinea eVisa is primarily designed for arrival at Gbessia International Airport (CKY) in Conakry, where the biometric enrollment infrastructure is located. If you plan to enter via a land border from a neighboring country, you should check with the nearest Guinean embassy, as land border posts may not always accept the eVisa.

It depends on the variant. The standard tourist eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance, and you must enter Guinea within that window. US and Canadian citizens are issued a 5-year multiple-entry eVisa under a reciprocal arrangement; the 5 years are the visa's validity, not a permitted stay. In every case the immigration officer sets your actual stay when you arrive.

If you're remaining in the international transit area of the airport and not clearing immigration, a visa isn't required. However, if you plan to leave the airport or transit through Guinea by land, you must obtain a Transit eVisa, which is valid for up to 3 days.

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and minors, must have their own individual eVisa. For minors traveling without both parents, you must present a notarized "autorisation parentale" (parental authorization letter) at the border.

Once your Guinea eVisa application is approved, you’ll receive an email with a PDF. We recommend printing a physical copy to present to border officials at the port of entry. You should also keep a digital backup on your phone.

The Guinea eVisa is usually processed quickly. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay. We recommend applying at least 9 days before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reasons for denial are blurry photos, missing yellow fever certificates, or failing to remove glasses in your passport photo. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information. iVisa offers denial protection. Our experts manually review your application before submission to prevent these common issues.
