India to Senegal visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist or short visits to Senegal. They can enter visa-free and stay for up to 90 days (3 months). As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Indian passport can travel to Senegal for tourism or a short visit without any visa. Senegal grants visa-free entry to Indian nationals for stays of up to 90 days (3 months), confirmed by Senegal's published visa policy, the UK FCDO entry-requirements guidance, and references to the India-Senegal relationship. No eVisa, visa-on-arrival, or pre-travel authorization is needed for a short tourist trip. At the border, travelers simply present a passport valid for at least six months beyond the arrival date, along with proof of onward/return travel and evidence of accommodation, which immigration officers may request before granting entry. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory only if arriving from (or transiting more than 12 hours through) a country with yellow fever transmission risk; it is otherwise strongly recommended given that Senegal is itself a yellow fever risk area. Note: Senegal is in West Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. One caution for travelers to watch: Senegalese authorities have, since 2024, publicly discussed introducing a reciprocal/paid visa regime for some nationalities, but as of mid-2026 no such requirement has been implemented for Indian tourists. Visa-free entry is for tourism and short stays only; work, paid activities, or stays beyond 90 days require the appropriate visa/permit and local registration (Carte d'etranger).
