What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Liberian embassy
Contact the Liberian embassy or consulate in your region (e.g., Washington D.C., London, or Accra). Submit your application, passport, photo, and fee. Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, so apply well before your trip.
2
Wait for visa approval
The embassy processes your application and issues a visa sticker in your passport. You may need to send your passport by mail or drop it off in person. Track the status with the embassy.
3
Prepare your documents for arrival
Before you fly, print or save digital copies of your visa, passport, return ticket, and hotel booking. Keep them in your carry-on for easy access at immigration in Monrovia's Roberts International Airport (ROB).
4
Arrive in Liberia and go through immigration
At Roberts International Airport, join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Present your passport with the visa, return ticket, and proof of accommodation. The officer may ask a few questions about your stay. After stamping, you're in.
