Poland to Equatorial Guinea visa requirements

Q: Can I get a visa on arrival in Equatorial Guinea?

No. There is no reliable visa-on-arrival for Polish tourists. You must apply for and receive the eVisa before departure and enter through Malabo International Airport.

Q: How much does the eVisa cost?

The government eVisa fee is around USD 75. Additional costs apply for yellow-fever vaccination, insurance, and any optional agency service.

Q: How long does the eVisa take to process?

Approval usually arrives within 24-72 hours, but some channels and busy periods can take up to 10 business days, so apply at least 7-10 days ahead.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required?

Yes. An International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is mandatory both for the eVisa application and on arrival.

Q: Which airport can I use with the eVisa?

eVisa holders must enter via Malabo International Airport (SSG). Plan your flights accordingly.

Polish (ordinary passport) travellers need an eVisa for a short tourist visit to Equatorial Guinea. Poland is not on the small visa-exempt list, so an electronic visa must be obtained online before departure, and eVisa holders must enter via Malabo International Airport. Equatorial Guinea launched its electronic visa (eVisa) system on 1 July 2023, requiring nearly all visitors to apply online before travel. Only a handful of nationalities are visa-exempt (Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, Barbados, and CEMAC member-state nationals with biometric passports or ID cards) — Poland is not among them. Polish ordinary passport holders therefore must obtain a tourist eVisa prior to arrival. The eVisa is processed entirely online: applicants submit a passport scan, photo, accommodation proof, return ticket, medical insurance and a yellow-fever vaccination certificate, pay the fee (around USD 75), and receive approval typically within 24–72 hours (some service channels quote up to 10 business days). The eVisa is single entry, valid for and permitting a stay of up to 90 days. A critical operational rule: eVisa holders must enter the country through Malabo International Airport (SSG). A yellow-fever certificate and passport with at least 6 months' validity are mandatory. Travellers should apply only through the official government portal and allow at least 7–10 days before departure.
