Germany to Senegal visa requirements

German ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for Senegal. You may enter visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No fee or advance application is required. Germany is on Senegal's visa-exemption list (all EU member states are visa-exempt), so a German ordinary passport holder can travel to Senegal for tourism without obtaining a visa in advance or on arrival. The permitted stay is up to 90 days within a 180-day period, also covering family visits, business meetings, and cultural or sporting events. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry, and border officers may ask for proof of onward/return travel and accommodation. Senegal eased its health-entry rules in March 2026: a yellow fever vaccination certificate is no longer mandatory at the border for arrivals from non-endemic countries such as Germany, but yellow fever vaccination remains strongly recommended for personal protection as the disease is present throughout Senegal. Stays beyond 90 days require a residence/long-stay permit applied for through Senegalese authorities. Always reconfirm with the Senegalese embassy/consulate or the German Federal Foreign Office shortly before travel, as rules can change.
