Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Slovenian passport holders must apply for an eVisa at evisa.gouv.ga before departure. The application takes about 10 minutes — upload a passport scan, a passport photo, and your flight itinerary. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, and the visa is sent by email as a PDF.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Gabon. Gabon immigration checks this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding in Europe. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Gabon immigration requires proof of a return or onward flight before they let you through. Airlines at Ljubljana or connecting hubs will also check this at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy of your itinerary ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers may ask for a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Gabon. A booking confirmation from Booking.com or a signed letter with the host's contact details works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers occasionally ask for bank statements or a credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Around €500–€1,000 in available funds is a safe benchmark for a short trip. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) to enter Gabon. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport.
eVisa must be approved before travel
Do not book non-refundable flights until your eVisa is approved. Processing times can vary, and there is no visa on arrival.
