Passport/Visa Note
All foreign passengers to Guinea must hold return or onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, or sufficient funds equal to a return airfare, and a Certificat d'Hebergement (Certificate of Accommodation). Passengers with an approval letter issued by the Directeur Central de la Police de l'Air et des Frontieres can obtain a visa on arrival. Also note that: (i) the government of Guinea does not accept wet stamp visas for entry into the country, only sticker-type visas are valid; (ii) every visitor staying longer than three months in Guinea is considered an alien resident, and has to hold an Alien Registration Card, to be obtained from the Direction de la Surete in Conakry; and (iii) a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Guinea. It is highly recommended that your passport has at least six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
Note: Passport and visa requirements are liable to change at short notice. Travellers are advised to check their entry requirements with their embassy or consulate.
