Equatorial Guinea visas

Whether you need a visa for Equatorial Guinea depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip: most travellers must obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa) before arrival, while a small number of nationalities and passport holders are exempt, and longer stays for work, study, family or settlement require permits handled inside the country. Immigration is administered by the Government of Equatorial Guinea through the Ministry of National Security and its Directorate General of Immigration, with work authorisation handled by the Ministry of Labour and official documents issued through the national documents centre (CENEDOGE). Always confirm current requirements on the official e-Visa portal or with an Equatoguinean embassy before travelling, as final admission is decided by the immigration officer at the border.
