UAE ordinary (normal) passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival in Equatorial Guinea for tourism, valid for up to 90 days. The UAE MOFA lists normal passports as visa on arrival; an eVisa is also available as an advance alternative for air arrival via Malabo. For UAE citizens travelling on an ordinary (normal) passport, Equatorial Guinea is a visa-on-arrival destination for tourism. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs destination page lists normal passports as "Visa On Arrival" and states that the tourist visa issued on arrival is valid for 90 days; its 2019 bilateral-agreement notice explains that ordinary passport holders must acquire a visa upon entry after paying the appropriate fees, while diplomatic and special passports are visa-free. For ordinary passports, entry still involves an arrival visa and fee, while short tourism does not normally require a consular visa before travel under the UAE-specific route. Equatorial Guinea's official VFS eVisa portal remains an alternative for travellers who want advance approval; the public FAQ lists a USD 50 visa fee plus a USD 25 service fee excluding tax, and UK guidance says eVisa processing is about 72 hours. eVisa entry is tied to air arrival at Malabo International Airport. Travellers should hold a passport valid for at least six months, with at least one blank page, and must carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Confirm the boarding rule and payable VOA fee with the airline or the nearest Equatorial Guinea mission before departure, because carriers may apply their document checks conservatively.
