Austria to Gabon visa requirements

Austrian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Gabon and should obtain the official Gabon eVisa online at evisa.dgdi.ga (issued by the DGDI immigration authority) before flying into Libreville's Léon Mba International Airport. There is no general visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for tourism. A visa is mandatory for Austrian (ordinary passport) tourists visiting Gabon. The standard and recommended route is the electronic visa (eVisa) processed by Gabon's Direction Générale de la Documentation et de l'Immigration (DGDI) through the official portal evisa.dgdi.ga. The eVisa is intended for travelers arriving by air via Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville; arrival at other points of entry is not covered and can lead to refusal. Applicants upload a passport bio-data page and a recent photo and typically receive an electronic authorization within roughly 48 to 72 hours. The single-entry visa is generally valid for a stay of about 30 days, while a multiple-entry option allows stays of up to about 90 days. Quoted fees are around EUR 70 for the 1-to-3-month visa and EUR 185 for the 6-month multiple-entry visa. Historically Gabon required the visa fee to be paid in cash on arrival even with an approved eVisa, but in late 2025 the DGDI began rolling out online payment to make the process fully digital. A temporary free tourist eVisa promotion ran only from 15 July to 15 September 2025 and has ended, so travelers should again budget for the standard fee. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay, and proof of onward/return travel is expected. Because conditions and payment mechanics are changing, travelers should confirm the latest details directly on evisa.dgdi.ga before departure.
