India to Guinea visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Guinea, obtained online as an e-Visa before travel. There is no traditional visa-on-arrival without prior online approval; you must first get an Entry Visa Letter via the official PAF portal, then finalize the visa at Conakry airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Guinea (Republic of Guinea, capital Conakry) requires Indian citizens to hold a visa for tourism. Since the rollout of its electronic visa system, the standard route is the official Guinea e-Visa administered by the Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF). Applicants apply online, upload a passport datapage scan, return ticket and yellow fever certificate, and pay USD 80. After approval (typically within about 72 hours, though 10 days lead time is advised), the traveler receives an Entry Visa Letter by email. On arrival at Conakry Conakry-Gbessia International Airport, the traveler presents this letter at the visa counter, gives biometrics (photo and fingerprints), and the visa is stamped into the passport. The short-stay tourist e-Visa is single entry, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is valid for entry within 90 days of issue. Guinea is in West Africa and is NOT a Schengen country, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is a strict entry condition. There is no genuine no-prior-approval visa-on-arrival channel for Indian nationals, so travelers must arrange the e-Visa before departure.
