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

E-visa applications are typically processed within a few working days when the portal is operating normally, with approval delivered by email to print before travel.

Visas from a diplomatic mission can take longer depending on the mission's workload and whether documents need referral to the Migration Office in Bissau. Long-stay, work, study and residence applications involve additional approvals (for example a work permit from the labour authorities) and take considerably longer.

Apply well ahead of travel and do not book non-refundable arrangements until your visa is issued.
