Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit GA?

Finland passport holders need a visa for Gabon. The recommended route is the official online e-Visa (e-authorization) at evisa.dgdi.ga, which is issued within about 72 hours and is valid only for air arrivals via Leon Mba International Airport in Libreville, where the visa sticker is issued and the fee paid on arrival. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Gabon is not in the Schengen area and Finland is not on Gabon's short list of visa-exempt countries, so Finnish ordinary passport holders require a visa for tourism. Since 2015, Gabon has operated an electronic visa (e-Visa) system, run by the Directorate General of Documentation and Immigration (DGDI), open to citizens of any country that needs a visa. Applicants complete the form online at the official portal evisa.dgdi.ga, upload a passport bio-page scan and photo, and receive an electronic authorization typically within 72 hours. This e-authorization is valid only for travelers arriving by air at Leon Mba International Airport in Libreville; the physical visa sticker is then affixed and the fee paid (currently in cash) on arrival. Standard pricing is EUR 70 / 45,000 XAF for a 1-3 month single-entry visa and EUR 185 / 120,000 XAF for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, each plus an approximately EUR 15 file fee. A short single-entry stay is typically up to 30-90 days. Finland is consularly covered by the Gabonese High Commission in London (also offering a paper tourist visa, single entry GBP 80 / multiple GBP 240, 3 working days) for travelers who cannot use the e-Visa channel or who arrive by land/sea. In 2025 Gabon announced moves toward a fully digital, partly free tourist e-Visa, but the established fee-and-sticker-on-arrival process remains the reliable reference. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry, and the passport must be valid at least six months.
