Singapore to Gabon visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders need a visa for Gabon. The recommended route is the official Gabon eVisa, applied for online before departure via the DGDI portal for arrival by air at Libreville's Leon Mba International Airport. A Singapore (SG) ordinary passport holder is NOT visa-exempt for Gabon (GA). The standard channel for tourism or a short visit is the Gabon eVisa, issued by the Direction Generale de la Documentation et de l'Immigration (DGDI) via its official portal evisa.dgdi.ga. The eVisa applies to travelers arriving by air through Leon Mba International Airport in Libreville; applicants upload the passport bio-data page and a recent photo. A free tourist eVisa promotion ran only from 1 July to 30 September 2025 and has since ended, so as of 2026 standard fees apply: about EUR 70 (plus a service/file fee) for a 1-3 month single-entry visa and about EUR 185 for a 6-month multiple-entry visa. Gabon has historically required visa fees to be paid in cash on arrival when the sticker is issued, though the country has been moving toward full online pre-payment. A passport valid at least six months beyond the intended departure date and proof of onward travel are required. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers over 9 months to 1 year of age. Singapore has no diplomatic mission in Gabon, limiting consular support. Travelers should verify the latest rules on the official DGDI portal before booking, as the conservative default given fee/payment changes is treated as visa-required via the eVisa channel.
