Visa for the United Kingdom from Equatorial Guinea: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Equatorial Guinea is one of the nationalities the UK government requires to hold a visa to visit, according to its official list. The visa must be granted before departure, on an application lodged with the embassy, consulate or designated visa application centre. The permitted length of stay is not mentioned here: ask the British authorities before fixing your dates.

The official fee recorded is 135 GBP. Gather a valid passport, the completed form, a photo as instructed, proof of accommodation and funds, and travel insurance if needed. Documents written in Spanish or French may need to be accompanied by an English translation. For the precise list of documents, refer to the official British guidance.

Step one: the official UK government form, completed online, along with fee payment and booking an appointment. Step two: the visit to the visa application centre, where you hand in your documents and your fingerprints and photo are recorded. Check in advance the address of the centre covering your place of residence and the access arrangements on the day of the appointment.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Equatorial Guinea, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Equatorial Guinea 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 recorded processing time is 3 weeks; travel time to the application centre and the wait for an appointment may come on top of that. Start the process well in advance and do not book any non-refundable ticket before the decision. Keep copies of all documents and check that your passport remains valid for the whole stay.

The mistakes that delay or jeopardise an application are often the same: missing translations, poorly documented funds, inconsistencies between the form and the documents, and appointments booked without checking the centre’s address. Add to that buying tickets too early and using unofficial intermediaries. When in doubt, only the official UK government pages are authoritative.
