Finland to The Gambia visa requirements

Finnish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for The Gambia. As an EU/Schengen and Nordic state, Finland is on The Gambia's official visa-exemption list and can enter for tourism for up to 90 days with just a valid passport. A Finland ordinary passport holder can travel to The Gambia visa-free for short tourist stays. The Gambia Immigration Department's current visa policy explicitly exempts "Schengen/European Union citizens" and "Nordic States" from visa requirements, so Finns qualify on multiple grounds. No visa, eVisa or visa-on-arrival is required for a tourist visit. Travelers receive an entry stamp at Banjul International Airport; EU/Schengen nationals are generally admitted for up to 90 days (in practice an initial stamp is often issued and is extendable at the Immigration Department in Banjul for a small fee if you stay longer). Requirements at the border are a passport valid at least 6 months with 2 blank pages, onward/return ticket, and visible means of sustenance. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from or transiting a yellow-fever-endemic country. All arriving and departing passengers (except diplomats and children 2 and under) pay a Securiport security fee of USD 20 / D1,000, payable in cash on arrival and again on departure. Note: The Gambia is in West Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the EU's Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. Sources confirm no visa change reducing this access through 2026.
