Israel to Gabon visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need an eVisa to visit Gabon. Apply online before travel at the official DGDI portal, then pay the visa fee in cash on arrival at Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. Israel is not on Gabon's visa-exempt list, so an ordinary Israeli passport holder must obtain a visa before traveling. The practical route is Gabon's electronic visa (eVisa), applied for online at the official portal operated by the Direction Générale de la Documentation et de l'Immigration (DGDI) at evisa.dgdi.ga. The traveler uploads a scan of the passport bio-page (valid at least six months) and a recent color photo; an entry authorization is typically issued within about 72 hours. Importantly, the Gabonese eVisa is only partially digitized: the entry authorization is granted online, but the visa fee itself must be paid in cash on arrival at the airport, where the visa sticker is affixed. The standard tourist fee is EUR 70 (or 45,000 XAF) for a 1-3 month single-entry visa, with a EUR 15 online processing/service charge; a 6-month multiple-entry option costs EUR 185 (120,000 XAF). The eVisa is valid only for travelers arriving by air via Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville; other border crossings require a visa obtained from a Gabonese diplomatic mission. A temporary free tourist eVisa promotion ran in mid-2025 but has concluded, so the standard paid eVisa applies as of mid-2026. Gabon's Ministry of Digital Economy has announced plans to add online fee payment to the portal, but until that goes fully live travelers should plan to carry euros or CFA francs in cash. There is no Schengen connection: Gabon is in Central Africa and is not a Schengen state.
