Senegal visa-free entry for citizens of Canada: 2026 entry rules

No. Travellers with a passport from Canada enter Senegal without a visa for a short tourist stay, within a limit of 90 days. No application or visa fee is required. A stay beyond that period, or for a purpose other than tourism, falls under different rules: ask the diplomatic mission of Senegal responsible for Canada.

No visa processing time comes into play. The timetable to watch is that of your stay: schedule your return before the 90 permitted days are up. As entry rules can change, get back in touch with the Senegalese authorities or check their official channels shortly before leaving Canada.

The expected travel document is a valid passport; as our sources do not specify a minimum validity, check it with the embassy of Senegal before booking. The airline may ask for a return or onward ticket at check-in, and officers on arrival may take an interest in your accommodation and funds.

No visa means no visa fee for this trip. Keep your passport, proof of your return or onward flight and the address of your first accommodation in Senegal on you. Any other documents that may be required, including health-related ones, should be confirmed with the embassy or a consulate of Senegal, as our sources do not detail them.
