Spain to Guinea visa requirements

Spanish ordinary passport holders need a visa for Guinea (Conakry). The simplest route is the official Guinea eVisa, applied for online via the national border police portal (paf.gov.gn) before travel, with a visa letter collected on arrival. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Spain is not on Guinea's visa-exemption list (which covers ECOWAS states plus a handful of African nations and Singapore), so a Spanish citizen visiting Guinea for tourism requires a visa. Guinea operates an official electronic visa (eVisa) system run by the Direction Nationale de la Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF), accessible at paf.gov.gn/visa. A tourist eVisa costs USD 80, permits a stay not exceeding 90 days, and is issued as an entry authorization letter that the traveler presents to immigration officers at the port of entry, where the physical visa is affixed. Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months, supply a scanned passport datapage, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds, and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, which is compulsory for entry into Guinea. Processing typically takes around 3 to 4 business days, though travelers should apply well in advance. Applicants can alternatively obtain a visa from a Guinean diplomatic mission, but the eVisa is the recommended channel for most tourists. Approval is at the discretion of Guinean authorities and fees are non-refundable. As of mid-2026 there is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or unilateral waiver channel for Spanish nationals, so they must secure the eVisa or an embassy visa before flying.
