Egypt to Guinea-Bissau visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Guinea-Bissau. The practical channel for a short tourist visit is a visa on arrival, obtained at Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (Bissau) or a land border; an online eVisa is also available as an advance alternative. Egypt is not on Guinea-Bissau's visa-exempt list. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Guinea-Bissau is not part of the Schengen area and grants visa-free entry only to ECOWAS nationals and to holders of diplomatic/service passports from Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). Egypt is not covered by either exemption, so an Egyptian ordinary passport holder requires a visa. Guinea-Bissau permits a visa on arrival for nationals of countries without a Bissau-Guinean diplomatic mission, which includes Egypt, granting a stay of up to 90 days. An electronic visa (eVisa / pre-enrollment) can also be obtained online before travel, and visas may be issued by a Bissau-Guinean consulate where one exists. Because Egypt has no readily accessible Bissau-Guinean embassy, visa on arrival (ideally backed by an eVisa pre-approval) is the standard route. Travelers must carry a passport valid at least six months with two blank pages and a valid yellow fever (WHO yellow card) vaccination certificate, which is checked on entry. Guinea-Bissau experiences periodic political instability, so travelers should check current advisories before departure.
