Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your full stay | At least 6 months validity beyond your entry date. Minimum 1 blank page for the entry stamp. Airlines may deny boarding if validity is too close. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Officers check this regularly | A confirmed flight out of the country. Immigration may ask to see this — have a screenshot ready on your phone. An onward ticket from a neighbouring country also works. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel name or address | A hotel booking confirmation, or the address of where you are staying. The arrival form often asks for this. A Booking.com or Airbnb confirmation email is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Rarely checked | Immigration officers may ask you to demonstrate sufficient funds for your stay. A credit card or bank statement usually suffices. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival — apply ahead
Bangladeshi passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Guinea. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. Without it, you'll be denied boarding.
Yellow fever vaccine required
You must show proof of yellow fever vaccination (Yellow Card) upon arrival. This is a mandatory health requirement — no exceptions.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Guinea eVisa website (if available) or check with the nearest Guinea embassy. Complete the application form, upload your passport scan and a passport-sized photo, and pay the fee. Processing time varies — apply at least 2 weeks before your trip.
2
Receive and print your eVisa approval
Once approved, you'll get an eVisa document via email. Print at least two copies — one for the airline check-in desk and one for Guinea immigration. Also save a digital copy on your phone.
3
Arrive at Conakry International Airport (CKY)
Most international flights land at Conakry. At immigration, present your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in. Keep your boarding pass handy in case they ask.
