What the Guinea visa rules mean for Senegal travellers

Senegal citizens can enter Guinea without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Senegal passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.

Documents to prepare

Whatever your visa status, Guinea applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:

  • Passport validity: Guinea's border police list a valid passport 'with validity more than 6 months' among the documents needed at Guinean entry checkpoints.
  • Vaccinations: Yellow fever: Guinea's border police list a yellow fever certificate among the conditions for the eVisa. The UK government says a certificate is required to enter if you are coming from a country listed as a yellow fever transmission…
  • Travel insurance: No official source we could read states a travel insurance requirement for Guinea; the border police's list of entry documents does not include it.
  • Return or onward ticket: Guinea's border police list a valid return ticket among the conditions for the visa and among the documents needed upon arrival at Guinean entry checkpoints.
