Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit GN?
German ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to enter Guinea for tourism. Apply online before travel via the official Guinean border police (PAF) portal at paf.gov.gn; a single-entry tourist eVisa costs about USD 80 and is normally approved within 72 hours. Guinea (Republic of Guinea, capital Conakry) is not a visa-free destination for German citizens. Germany passport holders must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before departure, applied for online through the official PAF Guinea portal (paf.gov.gn/visa) operated by the Guinean border police. This is confirmed by the German Federal Foreign Office (Auswaertiges Amt), which directs travelers to apply online on the Guinean border police website prior to arrival. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry, valid for a stay of up to 90 days (3 months), with a government fee of around USD 80 and approval typically within 72 hours. On arrival at Conakry International Airport (CKY), travelers present the eVisa registration receipt for biometric enrollment (photo and fingerprints) at the visa counter. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required in practice; border control frequently demands proof from all arrivals, and it is mandatory for anyone arriving from a yellow fever endemic zone. Guinea is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. Travelers should apply only through the official paf.gov.gn portal to avoid overpriced third-party intermediaries, and verify current rules close to departure as Guinean regulations can change without prior notice.
