Egypt to Guinea visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to enter Guinea (Conakry) for tourism or short visits. Egypt is on Guinea's visa-exemption list, so no eVisa or visa on arrival is required. A passport valid for at least 6 months and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are mandatory. Guinea grants visa-free entry to holders of ordinary Egyptian passports. Egypt appears on Guinea's list of visa-exempt nationalities alongside ECOWAS states and several other African/partner countries (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Namibia, Rwanda, etc.). This means an Egyptian tourist does not need to apply for Guinea's eVisa (the eVisa portal at paf.gov.gn is intended for non-exempt nationalities, at roughly USD 80 for up to 90 days). At the border, an Egyptian traveler must still present a passport valid for at least six months with blank pages, evidence of a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation/funds, and — critically — a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever, which is checked on arrival at Conakry. The typical permitted visa-free stay for short tourist visits is up to 90 days, though the duration can be set by the immigration officer at entry. Because visa-exemption arrangements in the region can change, travelers should reconfirm the rule with the Guinea embassy/consulate or the official PAF immigration site shortly before departure.
