Where do you apply for a visa for Guinea from France?
An e-visa for Guinea is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in France on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in France 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.

Processing times and tips
With an observed processing time of 45 days, a late application can jeopardise your departure: start as soon as your plans are set, then book non-refundable tickets after approval. Also check your passport’s validity and any health requirements with the embassy. Once in Guinea, respect the 90-day limit on your stay.

Common mistakes
Websites that imitate official portals are among the most common traps: they charge service fees on top of the 100 USD observed. Some travellers also confuse Guinea with Guinea-Bissau or Equatorial Guinea, or make a typo in their passport number that renders the e-Visa unusable. Finally, do not confuse the 90 days of authorised stay with the 45-day processing time.

Tips to Extend Your Stay in Guinea
- Submit your extension request before the initial visa expires, directly at the DCPAF in Conakry.
- Always keep a copy of your passport, visa, and proof of stay with you.
- Strictly comply with the authorized length of stay to avoid fines or expulsion.
- In case of lost documents, immediately contact your embassy and the local police.
A traveler arriving with a 30-day visa may request an extension from the DCPAF before the expiration date, by providing a justification (family reason, professional reason, etc.) and paying the corresponding fees. It is advised to start the procedure at least one week before the visa expiration date.
