Guinea eVisa Information
The Guinea eVisa is an electronic visa implemented in 2015 by the Government of Guinea to help tourists from eligible countries in applying for their visas in a much faster way through an online process.
The Guinea eVisa serves as a single-entry permit that stays valid for 90 days and can be used for all tourism-related purposes. The length of the maximum stay in Guinea with this online visa type is 45 days.
There is also a second Guinea e-Visa type available, which suits perfectly for short 3-day transit trips.
Applicants can get their eVisa by submitting an online form at least 3 business days before travel. The approved document will then be delivered directly to the applicant's email box in PDF form.
The Guinea eVisa is a mandatory document to obtain for citizens of almost all countries except a few exempted ones.
Travelers can use the electronic visa to go on a relaxing getaway in Guinea, explore this country, engage in any leisure activities, or visit their friends and family!
