Important
This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.
The Gambia Immigration Department does not publish standard processing times on a fetchable official page. Timelines depend on the route, where you apply and whether documents are complete.
Because widely quoted turnaround figures come from third-party sources rather than the GID, applicants should confirm current processing times directly with the Gambia Immigration Department or the relevant Gambian mission.
