Israel to Equatorial Guinea visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay on the tourist eVisa?

The tourist eVisa is typically single-entry and allows a stay of up to 90 days. You generally have 90 days from issuance to enter the country.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before arrival.

Q: Where can I enter the country with an eVisa?

eVisa holders must enter via Malabo International Airport. Plan your flights accordingly.

Q: How much does the eVisa cost and how long does it take?

The government fee is around USD 75, and approval usually takes 24-72 hours, though you should apply several business days in advance.

Q: Which website is the official eVisa portal?

Apply only through the official portal (equatorialguinea-evisa.com) to avoid third-party surcharges and scams.

Israeli ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to enter Equatorial Guinea for tourism. Israel is not on the short visa-exempt list, so you must apply online through the official portal before travel and enter via Malabo International Airport. As of 2026, Equatorial Guinea requires an eVisa for nearly all foreign nationals, including Israeli ordinary passport holders. Only a small group of countries (Barbados, Tunisia, Turkey, the UAE, and CEMAC member states) are visa-exempt, and Israel is not among them. The eVisa system, launched on 1 July 2023, replaced most embassy submissions for short stays. Applicants apply online via the official portal (equatorialguinea-evisa.com), pay a government fee of about USD 75, and typically receive approval within 24-72 hours (allow up to several business days). The tourist eVisa is generally a single-entry permit allowing a stay of up to 90 days, with 90 days to enter after issuance. eVisa holders must arrive via Malabo International Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory, and the passport must be valid for at least six months. Travelers should ensure their passport is correctly stamped on entry, as border-processing problems have been reported. Conservatively, the verdict is eVisa: there is no confirmed visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Israeli citizens.
