Austria to Guinea visa requirements

Austrian passport holders need a visa for Guinea. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Austrians; the standard route is the official Guinea eVisa, applied for online before travel at paf.gov.gn. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Austria (ordinary passport) is not on Guinea's visa-exemption list, which is limited to ECOWAS members and a small set of bilateral/exempt countries. Austrian travelers must obtain a visa, and the recommended and standard method for a short tourist visit is Guinea's electronic visa (eVisa) issued by the Police de l'Air et des Frontières (PAF) via the official portal paf.gov.gn. The tourist eVisa is a single-entry permit valid for up to 90 days with a maximum stay of 90 days, costing USD 80, with processing typically within 72 hours (3-4 business days). Applicants upload a passport bio-page scan, a white-background photo, a confirmed return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for entry). On arrival at Conakry (CKY) airport, travelers present the eVisa receipt for biometric registration (photo and fingerprints). Passports must be valid at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. There is no Schengen consideration here — Guinea is a West African country, not part of the Schengen area.
