What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Guinea eVisa portal. Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (typically around $80–$100 USD) with a credit card. Processing takes 3–7 business days. You'll receive the eVisa by email as a PDF.
2
Print or save your eVisa
Once approved, print a paper copy and also save the PDF on your phone. Airlines may check it before boarding, and immigration at Conakry International Airport (CKY) will ask to see it.
3
Prepare your documents for arrival
Have your passport, eVisa printout, return ticket, and hotel booking ready. Keep them in your hand luggage — not checked bags. At Conakry airport, follow signs to 'Immigration' and present all documents together.

Go through immigration at Conakry Airport
At the immigration counter, hand over your passport and eVisa. The officer may ask a few questions (purpose of visit, where you're staying). Answer clearly. After stamping, you'll collect your bags and proceed to customs.
