Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit GA?

Yes, a German ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Gabon, but it can be obtained online as an eVisa before travel. Apply through the official DGDI portal (evisa.dgdi.ga), then collect the visa sticker on arrival at Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. German ordinary passport holders require a visa to enter Gabon for tourism. The practical channel is Gabon's electronic visa (eVisa), administered by the Directorate General of Documentation and Immigration (DGDI) at evisa.dgdi.ga. Applicants submit the application online with a passport bio-page scan, a recent photo, proof of accommodation, and a yellow-fever certificate; the e-authorization is typically issued within about 72 hours. A single-entry tourist eVisa is valid for 1 to 3 months and costs €70 (about 45,000 XAF) plus a €15 file-processing fee; a 6-month multiple-entry version costs €185 (about 120,000 XAF) plus the €15 fee. Important caveat: the eVisa is valid only for travelers arriving by air via Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. A temporary free tourist eVisa promotion ran from 1 July to 30 September 2025 and has since expired, so the standard paid eVisa now applies. From December 2025 Gabon began rolling out online fee payment (via MaDigiPaie and mobile-money partners); previously fees were paid in cash when the visa sticker was issued on arrival. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Travelers needing to enter Gabon by land/sea, or via airports other than Libreville, must obtain a traditional visa from a Gabonese diplomatic mission in advance.
