Andorra to Benin visa requirements

Q: Is the yellow fever vaccination really required?

Yes. Benin requires yellow fever vaccination proof for all arriving travellers aged 9 months or older. A properly completed ICVP becomes valid 10 days after primary vaccination.

Q: How long can an Andorran tourist stay in Benin?

Up to 30 days with a single- or multiple-entry eVisa, or up to 90 days with the 90-day multiple-entry eVisa, measured from the date of arrival.

Q: How much does the Benin eVisa cost?

Self-service government fees are 50 EUR for a 30-day single-entry visa, 75 EUR for a 30-day multiple-entry visa, and 100 EUR for a 90-day multiple-entry visa. Embassy-assisted applications cost 10 EUR more.

Q: Which website is the official Benin eVisa portal?

The official Government of Benin portal is evisa.bj, also reached from evisa.gouv.bj. Avoid third-party agency sites, which charge additional service fees.

Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Benin for tourism. Apply online via the official government portal before travel; Benin does not offer visa on arrival. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. An ordinary passport holder from Andorra cannot enter Benin visa-free for tourism. Benin's official eVisa FAQ says Africans can visit Benin without a visa for 90 days, and its exemption notice points to a list of reciprocal visa-waiver countries; Andorra is not covered by those African/regional exemptions, so an Andorran tourist should obtain an electronic visa before travel through the official Benin eVisa portal (evisa.bj, also reached from evisa.gouv.bj). Official eVisa costs are 50 EUR for a 30-day single-entry visa, 75 EUR for a 30-day multiple-entry visa, and 100 EUR for a 90-day multiple-entry visa when applying yourself; embassy-assisted applications cost 10 EUR more. The FAQ says to apply online at least 7 days before entry and not more than 90 days before entry, and that processing can last from 1 hour to 96 hours. The U.S. State Department states that visas are not available upon entry at airport, land, or sea arrival points. A yellow fever vaccination certificate / WHO Yellow Card is mandatory for all arriving travellers aged 9 months or older, and a properly completed ICVP becomes valid 10 days after primary vaccination. The U.S. State Department lists passport validity for Benin as 6 months beyond the arrival date and says at least 1 blank passport page is needed.
