What happens at the border
1
Apply for your e-visa
Go to https://evisa.gov.lr/ and fill out the application. You'll need your passport details, travel dates, and accommodation info. Upload a digital passport photo and pay the fee online. Processing takes 2–4 weeks, so apply well in advance.

Book your flight and accommodation
Once your visa is approved, book a return flight and your first night's accommodation in Liberia. Keep digital copies of both — you'll need them at immigration.

Arrive at Roberts International Airport (ROB)

Pass through immigration
Hand over your passport and visa. The officer may ask about your purpose of visit, where you're staying, and when you're leaving. Answer clearly. They may also ask to see your return ticket and hotel booking. Once stamped, you're free to enter.
