Important

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

Fees for Sierra Leone's visas and permits are set by the government and are collected through the official portals and approved payment channels. Visa fees often vary by nationality and visa type, and permit charges differ between ECOWAS and non-ECOWAS nationals.

The Immigration Department publishes some charges, such as the passport issuance/renewal fee, and notes that prices stated in US dollars may change with the USD-to-Leone exchange rate. Specific eVisa and permit fees are best confirmed at the point of payment in the live portal.

Always pay only through the official portals and approved channels, keep your receipts and reference numbers, and do not share voucher codes or personal details with unverified third parties.
