Israel to Burkina Faso visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders need a visa for Burkina Faso. The recommended route is the official eVisa, applied for online before travel via the government portal visaburkina.bf. The short-stay tourist eVisa allows up to 90 days. Burkina Faso is not a visa-free destination for Israeli citizens. Only 19 nationalities (mainly ECOWAS members plus a handful of others such as Morocco, the UAE, Singapore and Hong Kong) are visa-exempt, and Israel is not among them. Since the launch of the national eVisa portal on 17 August 2023, the standard and recommended way for an Israeli traveler to obtain a short-stay tourist visa is to apply online at the official portal (visaburkina.bf / applicant.visaburkina.bf), pay the government fee, and receive an electronic authorization before departure. The short-term (court séjour) visa is intended for tourism, business and family visits and carries a maximum validity and stay of 90 days, available as single entry (33,000 F CFA government fee) or multiple entry (55,000 F CFA). Visa on arrival, historically priced around 94,000-122,000 F CFA, is now issued only in exceptional circumstances and should not be relied upon. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry, and a passport valid at least six months with two blank pages is required. Burkina Faso is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Travelers should also note the country's elevated security situation. Israelis without an existing Burkinabè diplomatic mission accessible to them will generally find the online eVisa the most practical channel.
