| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Czech passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in Guinea. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Guinea, but airlines may enforce 6 months — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Conakry Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing your departure from Guinea within the eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Guinea. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have at least €200 or the equivalent in cash or a credit card statement to cover your stay. Immigration rarely checks, but it helps if questioned about your ability to support yourself. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show your yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) at immigration in Conakry. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot — and that can be expensive and inconvenient. Get the shot at least 10 days before you travel.
Conakry airport can be chaotic
The immigration hall is small and can get crowded. Have your documents ready in hand. There are no ATMs before baggage claim, so bring some euros or dollars in cash for any unexpected fees or transport.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Guinea eVisa portal (if available) or check with the nearest Guinean embassy. Fill in your passport details, travel dates, and upload a passport-style photo. Pay the fee online. Processing usually takes 2–5 business days.
2
Pack your documents
Print or save to your phone: eVisa approval email, passport info page, return ticket, hotel booking, and insurance certificate. Keep them together in a folder or a clear digital album.
3
Arrive at Conakry International Airport (CKY)
After landing, follow signs to immigration. Present your passport and eVisa approval. The officer will stamp you in. Have your return ticket and hotel address ready in case they ask. The process is usually straightforward but can be slow — expect 20–40 minutes.
