Philippines to Equatorial Guinea visa requirements

Yes, a Philippine ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Equatorial Guinea, but it is obtained online as an eVisa before travel. The Philippines is NOT on Equatorial Guinea's short visa-exempt list, and since 1 July 2023 the country requires an eVisa for almost all visitors. Apply online, pay the ~US$75 government fee, and enter via Malabo International Airport. As of June 2026, a Philippines ordinary passport holder visiting Equatorial Guinea for tourism must obtain an eVisa before departure. Equatorial Guinea launched its electronic visa system on 1 July 2023, open to all nationalities, and only a very small list of countries (Barbados, Tunisia, Turkey, the UAE, and CEMAC member states) is visa-exempt. The Philippines is not among them, so the standard path is the tourist eVisa: single entry, valid for up to 90 days with a stay of up to 90 days, government fee around US$75, processing typically 24-72 hours (apply at least 7 days ahead). eVisa holders must enter the country through Malabo International Airport. Required documents include a passport valid for at least 6 months, a passport photo, hotel/accommodation booking, return or onward ticket, a yellow fever vaccination certificate (International Certificate of Vaccination), proof of medical/travel insurance, and proof of sufficient funds (about US$1,000 per month of stay). Because sources on third-party portals vary and Equatorial Guinea is known for strict, sometimes inconsistent entry enforcement, travelers should apply only through the official eVisa portal and carry printed copies of all documents.
