Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-visaYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you must apply and receive approval before your trip. Apply before travel | Bosnia and Herzegovina passport holders must obtain an e-visa before arriving in Liberia. Apply online at the official e-visa portal (evisa.gov.lr). | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date well in advance — if it's close to expiring, renew it before applying for the e-visa. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Liberia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesMake sure there's a completely blank page — not just a page with some space — for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's safer to have a booked ticket out of Liberia to show if asked. May be requested | Although not explicitly required by the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket. Carry a printed copy of your itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of money helps avoid issues at immigration if they ask how you'll support yourself. May be requested | While not listed as a formal requirement, be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay (e.g., bank statements, credit cards). | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any separate arrival form before landing. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Liberia. | Not required |
No visa on arrival

Yes. Liberia requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers over 9 months old. You'll need to show your yellow card upon arrival.
Extensions are not available for this visa type. You must leave before your visa expires. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to apply for a different visa type (like a work or student visa) before your current one expires.
