Russian Federation to Guinea visa requirements

A Russian ordinary passport holder needs an eVisa to visit Guinea for tourism. Apply online through Guinea's official PAF portal before travel (no visa-on-arrival for Russians). The standard eVisa costs about USD 80, allows a stay of up to 90 days, and is typically processed in 3-4 business days. Guinea (Republic of Guinea, Conakry) requires Russian ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa, but it can be secured electronically (eVisa) rather than at an embassy. The eVisa is applied for online via Guinea's official Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF) portal at paf.gov.gn and is intended for tourism, business, and transit. The standard fee is USD 80 for a stay of up to 90 days, with processing usually completed within 72 hours to 3-4 business days. The visa is generally issued as a single-entry document for short tourist visits. Guinea's visa-on-arrival facility is restricted to UAE nationals and is not available to Russians, so the eVisa must be obtained before boarding. A visa exemption exists only for Russian holders of diplomatic or service passports (up to 90 days); ordinary passport holders are not covered by any visa-waiver and must hold an approved eVisa or visa before arrival. Travelers should also be prepared to show proof of a valid yellow fever vaccination, which is required for entry to Guinea. Always apply through the official paf.gov.gn portal to avoid third-party markup, and ensure the passport is valid for at least six months with at least one blank page.
