Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit GN?

Canadian passport holders need a visa to enter Guinea, and the practical route is the official eVisa. You apply online at the government PAF portal, pay USD 80 for the tourist category, and receive an Entry Visa Letter by email (typically within about 3 business days). The eVisa is single-entry and authorizes a stay of up to 90 days; the physical visa sticker is issued on arrival in Conakry after fingerprint and photo capture. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Guinea is not a visa-free or visa-on-walk-up destination for Canadian ordinary passport holders. Canada is not on Guinea's visa-exempt list, so a visa is required. The most common and officially endorsed channel is the Guinea eVisa, run by the Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF) at paf.gov.gn. The Tourist Visa category costs USD 80 and permits a stay of up to 90 days as a single-entry visa. Notably, Guinea grants Canada and US e-Visa holders extended validity (up to 5 years on the visa document under reciprocal arrangements), but each entry is still tied to the authorized 90-day tourist stay. The process is: apply online with a scanned passport datapage, a passport photo, a return ticket and a yellow fever certificate; receive an acknowledgement email; receive an Entry Visa Letter once approved; then complete biometric capture and receive the visa sticker on arrival. Approval is at the discretion of the authority and the fee is non-refundable. Guinea is in West Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Yellow fever vaccination is a hard entry requirement. Travelers should apply only through the official paf.gov.gn portal to avoid third-party markups.
