Guinea e-Visa for citizens of the Congo: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. A passport from the Republic of the Congo does not allow entry into Guinea without prior authorisation: you need an e-Visa, requested online and granted before you travel. It covers a stay of up to 90 days in Guinea. That figure is the maximum time you may spend in the country; it is neither the validity of the document nor the processing time.

The official fee observed is 100 USD, payable as indicated on the portal. You will generally need a clear scan of your passport’s photo page and a recent passport-style photo; the form may ask for further supporting documents, such as proof of accommodation or a travel itinerary. The authoritative list is the one published on the official portal or given by the Guinean embassy, not one found on a third-party website.

Applications are filed on the official portal of the Guinean authorities; if you are unsure of its address, the Guinean embassy responsible for the Republic of the Congo can confirm it. Create your file, fill in the form exactly as your passport reads, upload the requested documents and pay the fee. Once the e-Visa is granted, save and print it: the airline may ask for it at check-in, and it is checked when you enter Guinea.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the Congo but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

The observed processing time is 45 days, so submit your application early and wait for approval before buying non-refundable tickets. Make sure your passport remains valid for the whole trip and ask the embassy which minimum validity is required. Once in Guinea, do not stay longer than 90 days, and keep a copy of the e-Visa on your phone as well as a printed copy in your hand luggage.

Using an unofficial intermediary website is the costliest mistake: these services add their own charges to the official 100 USD without being able to guarantee a faster answer. Other frequent pitfalls include a typo in your name or passport number, a blurred photo that gets rejected, or an application filed too late given the observed 45 days of processing. Finally, check that the portal you use really concerns Guinea, not Guinea-Bissau or Equatorial Guinea, which have separate procedures.
