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

Visa requirements for Gabon depend on the traveller's nationality and the purpose and duration of the visit. Temporary visitors, including tourists and business travellers, are admitted for stays of up to three months and may not take salaried employment.

Anyone intending to stay longer than three months, to work, study or settle, needs the appropriate long-stay visa and a residence card from the DGDI. Confirm your specific requirement with the DGDI or the nearest Gabonese mission before travelling.
