🇸🇬Singapore🇧🇮BurundiSG-BI Singapore to Burundi visa requirements
Singapore ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Burundi for tourism. The recommended route is the official eVisa applied online at migration.gov.bi before travel; a visa on arrival is also available at Bujumbura International Airport and land borders. Only Singapore diplomatic, official, or service passports are visa-exempt (30 days) — ordinary passports are not. A Singapore (SG) ordinary passport holder traveling to Burundi (BI) for tourism requires a visa. Burundi's visa exemption for Singapore applies only to diplomatic, official, and service passports (up to 30 days), so ordinary tourists must obtain a visa. The cleanest path is the official eVisa via the General Commissariat for Migration portal (migration.gov.bi): apply online, upload the passport bio page, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and travel itinerary, then print the approval to present on entry and exit. A single-entry tourist eVisa costs about USD 40 and a multiple-entry visa about USD 90, both allowing a stay of up to 30 days (1 month), renewable. Processing typically takes about 3 working days. Since December 2021, Burundi has also offered visa on arrival at Bujumbura International Airport and all land borders to nationals of countries that require a visa, but pre-securing the eVisa is recommended to avoid airport delays and ensure documentation is in order. A passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry and proof of yellow fever vaccination are mandatory.
