What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Liberian embassy or consulate
Liberia has an embassy in New Delhi, India, and an Honorary Consulate in Dhaka. Call or email first to confirm current procedures, required documents, and appointment availability. The Dhaka consulate may have limited services, so you might need to go through New Delhi.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather your passport, completed application form, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and any other documents requested. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and at least one blank page.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person or can send documents via courier. Include a self-addressed prepaid envelope for return of your passport. Keep a copy of your application and tracking number.
4
Pay the visa fee
Pay the fee as instructed — usually by bank draft or money order. Fees vary by embassy and visa type, typically $100–$200 USD for a single-entry tourist visa. Keep the receipt.
5
Wait for processing
Processing can take 5–10 business days, sometimes longer. Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your planned departure to be safe. You can follow up with the embassy if you haven't heard back after 10 business days.
6
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, your passport will be returned with a visa sticker. Check the visa validity dates and any conditions (e.g., single vs. multiple entry). If anything looks wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
7
Arrive at Roberts International Airport (ROB) in Monrovia
At immigration, present your passport with visa, return ticket, and accommodation proof. Expect basic questions about your stay. The process is usually straightforward if your documents are in order. Have your Yellow Fever certificate ready too.
