No. There is no reliable visa-on-arrival for Indian tourists. You must secure an eVisa in advance via the official portal.

Q: How much does the Equatorial Guinea eVisa cost?

The government eVisa fee is approximately USD 75. Third-party agents may add service charges.

Q: How long can I stay on the eVisa?

Indian passport holders need a visa for Equatorial Guinea and must obtain an eVisa online before travel. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel. Indian (IN) ordinary passport holders cannot travel to Equatorial Guinea (GQ) visa-free. Equatorial Guinea launched an electronic visa (eVisa) system on 1 July 2023, and this is the standard route for Indian tourists. Applications are filed online through the official eVisa portal, with a government fee of approximately USD 75 and processing typically within a few business days. The eVisa is generally issued as a single-entry document for a short tourist stay (up to about 30 days, within a longer validity window). Importantly, eVisa holders must enter through Malabo International Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry, and travelers should carry proof of accommodation, return/onward tickets, and sufficient funds. Only a small number of nationalities (such as the UAE, Turkey, Tunisia, Barbados, and CEMAC member states) enjoy visa exemptions; India is not among them, so a visa is mandatory.
