Malaysia to Guinea visa requirements

Q: How much does the Guinea tourist eVisa cost?

The official single-entry tourist eVisa fee is USD 80, paid online on the PAF Guinée portal. It is non-refundable even if the application is declined.

Q: How long does the Guinea eVisa take to process?

Approval is typically issued within about 72 hours, though officially it can take up to 3-4 business days. Apply at least 15 days before travel as a buffer.

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

The single-entry tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 90 days. It permits only one entry.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required for Guinea?

Yes. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Travelers who cannot present one are refused entry.

Q: Where should I apply for the Guinea eVisa?

Apply only through the official government portal at paf.gov.gn. Avoid third-party agency sites that charge extra service fees on top of the government fee.

Yes, a visa is required. Malaysian ordinary passport holders must obtain a Guinea eVisa online before travel — there is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Malaysians. As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Malaysian passport need a visa to enter Guinea for tourism. Guinea is not in the Schengen area and offers no visa waiver or visa-on-arrival for Malaysian nationals (in West/sub-Saharan Africa, only ECOWAS members and a short list including Singapore, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Namibia, Niger, Rwanda and Tunisia are exempt — Malaysia is not among them). The correct route is the official Guinea Single-Entry Tourist eVisa applied for through the government PAF Guinée portal (paf.gov.gn). The tourist eVisa costs USD 80, permits a single entry and a stay of up to 90 days, and is normally approved within about 72 hours (officially up to 3-4 business days). An approved Entry Visa Letter is emailed to the applicant and presented on arrival in Conakry. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory and travelers without one are refused entry. Always apply only via the official paf.gov.gn portal to avoid third-party markups; the eVisa fee is non-refundable even if the application is declined.

/06 — The risks

Common refusal reasons

by frequency

/01

Malaysia is not on Guinea's visa-exemption list

Guinea waives visas mainly for ECOWAS members and a short list (e.g. Singapore, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Rwanda). Malaysia is not included, so a visa is required.

High

/02

No visa-on-arrival for Malaysians

Guinea's only VOA-style arrangement is limited (UAE nationals), so Malaysian travelers cannot obtain a visa at the airport and must apply online beforehand.

High

/03

eVisa is the standard channel

Guinea processes most tourist visas through its official electronic system, removing the need to visit an embassy or consulate.

High

/04

Yellow fever certificate is mandatory

Entry is refused without a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, a fixed health-entry requirement for Guinea.

Medium

/05

Single-entry, 90-day limit

The tourist eVisa allows only one entry and a maximum 90-day stay, which suits a short tourist visit.
