Philippines to Gabon visa requirements

Philippines ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Gabon for tourism. Apply online at the official DGDI portal before travel. A Philippines ordinary passport holder is NOT visa-exempt for Gabon and must obtain a visa before arrival. The recommended and fastest route is the official Gabon eVisa, managed by the Directorate General of Documentation and Immigration (DGDI) at evisa.dgdi.ga. The Philippines does not appear on Gabon's visa-exemption list (which is largely limited to CEMAC member states and a handful of bilateral-agreement countries), so Filipino travelers must apply for either an eVisa online or a traditional visa at a Gabonese diplomatic mission. The single-entry tourist eVisa is typically valid for 30 days and permits a stay of up to 30 days; it costs approximately 70 EUR (about 45,000 XAF) plus a 15 EUR processing fee and is normally issued within 72 hours. Important: the eVisa is valid ONLY for arrivals by air through Leon-Mba International Airport in Libreville, and travelers must carry a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. A temporary free tourist eVisa promotion ran from 1 July to 30 September 2025 but has ended, so standard fees again apply as of 2026.
