Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | You need an eVisa to enter Guinea. Apply through the Guinea Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal at www.mae.gov.gn. Processing takes a few business days — do not book flights until you receive approval.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Mozambique passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Guinea. Immigration officers at Conakry Airport check this carefully — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Guinea immigration routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. Airlines at Maputo Airport will also check this before letting you board. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Keep a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Guinea. Immigration officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or a credit card showing available funds. Officers at Conakry may ask how you plan to cover your stay — a few hundred dollars in cash or a card statement works fine. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival for Mozambican passport holders
You cannot get a visa at the airport or border. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be denied entry and sent back.
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory
Guinea requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers over 9 months old. Get the vaccine at least 10 days before travel and carry your Yellow Card.
