Egypt to Equatorial Guinea visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Equatorial Guinea. Egypt is not on the visa-exempt list, so you must apply online before travel and enter through Malabo International Airport. Equatorial Guinea (GQ) is a Central African nation and is not part of the Schengen area, so no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS applies. Egypt is not among Equatorial Guinea's visa-exempt countries (which include Barbados, Tunisia, Turkey, the UAE, and CEMAC members Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, and Gabon). Since the launch of the electronic visa system on 1 July 2023, all non-exempt nationalities, including Egyptian citizens, must obtain an eVisa prior to arrival. Egyptian travelers should apply through the official government portal (evisa.guineaecuatorial.gob.gq), pay the visa fee, and travel only after approval. eVisa holders must enter the country via Malabo International Airport. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry; published sources cite a stay of up to 90 days (some services state 30 days), so travelers should confirm the exact stay granted on their approval. The visa fee is commonly listed at USD 75, with approval typically issued within 24 to 72 hours of payment, though some agents quote up to 10 business days. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required, and a passport valid at least six months beyond entry is mandatory. Because tourist-channel availability and processing can change, applicants should verify the current status on the official portal before booking non-refundable travel.
