Overstay penalties

3,000,000 CFA

A stay visa allows a total of up to three months per half-year from the first entry.

Expulsion may be imposed instead of the fine, after an administrative procedure; fine and expulsion are never combined, and every expulsion carries an entry ban of 10 to 15 years.
