Official guidance Regularly updated

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Burkina Faso's eVisa was introduced to speed up and modernise the visa process. Guidance associated with the platform suggests allowing several working days for a decision, and an express option exists for urgent travel, but the official visa-type pages do not always state a fixed processing time.

Apply well ahead of travel. Residence-permit processing after arrival is a separate, longer procedure handled by the Foreign Police.
