Philippines to Guinea visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Guinea. The Philippines is not on Guinea's visa-exempt list, so you must apply online through the official PAF portal before travel. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. A Philippines ordinary passport holder cannot enter Guinea visa-free. Guinea operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system through its national border police authority (PAF - Police de l'Air et des Frontières), and the Philippines is not among the visa-exempt nationalities (which are mainly ECOWAS member states plus a handful of bilateral-agreement countries such as Singapore, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Namibia and Rwanda). Filipino tourists must apply online before departure. The standard tourist eVisa costs USD 80, is single-entry, valid for up to 90 days, and processing officially takes around 72 hours (typically 3-4 business days). The eVisa process issues an Entry Visa Letter; the physical visa is collected at a visa-on-arrival counter at Conakry airport, where the traveler provides a photo and fingerprints. Guinea is in West Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. A key non-negotiable requirement is a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, which is required for all travelers entering Guinea. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months and travelers should carry proof of onward/return travel, accommodation and sufficient funds.
