Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit BI?

UK passport holders need a visa for Burundi. You must complete the online airport-entry (eVisa) application via the official migration portal BEFORE you travel, receive a validation certificate, and the visa is then issued on arrival. A 30-day visa costs about USD 90. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Burundi is not visa-free for British (GB) ordinary passport holders. As of 2026, all travellers without a settlement or permanent-residence visa must complete the online Airport Entry Visa application through Burundi's General Commissariat for Migration (migration.gov.bi) before boarding. The system generates a validation certificate that you present on arrival, where the physical visa is issued (so it operates as a mandatory online pre-approval, i.e. an eVisa, rather than a pure walk-up visa-on-arrival). GOV.UK FCDO confirms you "should apply for a visa online ahead of travelling" and that "visas are issued on arrival." A one-month tourist visa costs around USD 90 (single or multiple entry; some sources cite a lower USD 40 single-entry eVisa rate). Fees are payable online or in USD cash on arrival. Your passport must be valid at least six months beyond entry with one blank page, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is compulsory. Note that the FCDO advises against travel to parts of Burundi, so check current safety advice before booking.
