Guinea eVisa Processing Time
Guinea asks travellers to apply at least 7 days before arrival. Government processing usually takes 7 days, but governments do not guarantee a decision date, so apply as early as you can — applications are accepted well ahead of travel.
Our Standard, Rush and Emergency options set how quickly we review and file your application; the decision itself remains with the Guinea government. Whichever you choose, we tell you the date your visa is guaranteed by — on time or your money back.

Quick Reference
Guinea eVisa Requirements by Nationality
Select your passport above to personalise this table.
Most travelers do. Unless your passport is from one of Guinea's visa-waiver countries, mainly the West African ECOWAS states plus a few others, you need a Guinea eVisa before you travel. PassportsAndVisas.com can complete the eVisa application for you and tell you right away whether your passport is exempt.
Can I get the Guinea visa fee back if my application is refused?
▼
No. The Guinean government keeps the visa fee even if it refuses the application, because the fee covers processing. That's why it pays to get everything right the first time. PassportsAndVisas.com checks your application and documents before submitting, so it isn't held up by mistakes.
How does the Guinea eVisa work once I land in Guinea?
▼
The Guinea eVisa is a two-step visa. First the application is approved online and you receive an Entry Visa Letter by email. When you land, take that letter to the visa-on-arrival counter. Your photo and fingerprints are taken there and the visa is issued in your passport. PassportsAndVisas.com handles the online step for you, so you arrive with your approval letter ready.
What documents do I need to show when I arrive in Guinea?
▼
Have these ready: a passport valid for more than 6 months, your Entry Visa Letter, a return ticket, proof of where you're staying, enough money for your trip (cash or cards are fine), and your yellow fever vaccination certificate. Keep printed copies handy to make the arrival counter quicker.
Do I need a yellow fever vaccination to enter Guinea?
▼
Yes. Every traveler aged 9 months or older arriving at Conakry's international airport must show a yellow fever vaccination certificate, whatever country they're coming from. The certificate is also a condition of every Guinea visa, so get vaccinated well before your trip and pack your yellow card.
