Do China passport holders need a visa to visit GN?

Chinese ordinary passport holders need an eVisa for Guinea. Apply online at the official PAF Guinea portal (paf.gov.gn/visa) before travel; the tourist eVisa costs USD 80, allows a stay of up to 90 days, and is typically approved within about 72 hours. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. There is no general visa-on-arrival for ordinary Chinese passports (visa-free entry applies only to "public affairs"-endorsed, diplomatic, or service passports). As of May 2026, a holder of a Chinese (CN) ordinary passport must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before traveling to Guinea (GN) for tourism. Guinea operates an official eVisa system through the Direction Nationale de la Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (DNPAF/PAF) at paf.gov.gn/visa. Applicants complete the online form, pay the fee, and receive an Entry Visa Letter by email, then have the visa sticker affixed on arrival at Conakry (Gbessia) International Airport. The tourist category costs USD 80 for stays not exceeding 90 days, with processing generally completed within about 72 hours (allow a few business days for safety). Visa-free entry is NOT available to ordinary Chinese passports: only Chinese passports endorsed "for public affairs" (30 days) and diplomatic/service passports (90 days) are exempt. The general visa-on-arrival channel is limited (e.g., UAE nationals); ordinary Chinese travelers should secure the eVisa approval in advance rather than relying on arrival without it. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry. Travelers should confirm details with the official portal and the Chinese Embassy in Conakry before departure, as African eVisa programs change frequently.
