Our guide to the Guinea visa from Italy
An e-Visa is mandatory for holders of a passport from Italy travelling to Guinea: the application is made online, before departure. The official fee observed is 100 USD and the authorised stay is limited to 90 days.
Italians planning a trip to Guinea need to fit the e-Visa application into their schedule, as the electronic authorisation must be granted before boarding. With an observed processing time of 45 days, it is better to wait for approval before committing to non-refundable expenses.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: an Italian passport does not allow entry into Guinea without prior authorisation. You need an e-Visa, requested on the official portal and approved before departure, which allows a stay of up to 90 days. This length of stay is separate from both the processing time and the validity period of the document.
How much does an e-visa for Guinea cost from Italy?
100 USD
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.
What does a visa for Guinea really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

The official fee observed is 100 USD. You will usually need a digital copy of your passport’s identity page and a recent passport photo meeting the portal’s specifications; other documents, such as an accommodation booking, may be requested.

- 2Upload the required documents (passport, photo, supporting papers).
- 3Pay the fee online by card.
- 4Receive the authorisation by email, usually without a consular visit.

How to apply
Applications are made on the official portal of the Guinean authorities, whose address can be confirmed by the Guinean embassy responsible for Italy. There you fill in the form, upload the required documents and pay the fee, then wait for the decision. The approved e-Visa should be printed and shown with your passport, both at boarding and at the entry checkpoint in Guinea.
Where do you apply for a visa for Guinea from Italy?
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 Italy on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Italy 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.

How long does an e-visa for Guinea take?
45 days
Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.
Processing times and tips
The observed processing time is 45 days, which means starting early, especially if your trip falls during a busy period. Check your passport’s validity and the health requirements in force before leaving. Once there, do not exceed the authorised stay of 90 days and keep a copy of the e-Visa with you.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
Paying an unofficial intermediary that charges more than the 100 USD observed remains the most widespread mistake. Other typical errors are a rejected photo, a mismatch between the form and the passport, or a departure planned before the processing time has elapsed. Also make sure your application really concerns Guinea, not Guinea-Bissau or Equatorial Guinea.
