Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Equatorial Guinea eVisa website (or the designated portal). Fill in your personal details, passport info, travel dates, and upload a passport-style photo. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes a few business days.

Once approved, you'll get the eVisa by email. Print a copy and save a PDF on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival.

Arrive at the airport in Equatorial Guinea

After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. There's usually a customs check — declare anything valuable. Then you're free to leave the airport.
