Singapore to Guinea-Bissau visa requirements

Singapore passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Bissau (Osvaldo Vieira) International Airport for tourist stays of up to 90 days. An official eVisa is also available in advance and is recommended for smoother entry. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Guinea-Bissau is not in the Schengen area, and Singapore is not among the small list of countries exempt from Guinea-Bissau visa requirements. Both Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the published visa policy of Guinea-Bissau confirm that Singapore (ordinary passport) travellers may obtain a visa on arrival, valid for a maximum stay of 90 days. The country also operates an official electronic visa (eVisa) system: a single-entry tourist eVisa valid for 30 days, or a multiple-entry tourist eVisa valid for up to 90 days, with processing typically around 3 business days. Because entry can be refused or delayed at the discretion of immigration officers, applying for the eVisa before departure is the safer route. A passport with at least six months' validity beyond the intended departure date is required, along with proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. Critically, Guinea-Bissau is a yellow fever risk country: proof of yellow fever vaccination (yellow card) is required to enter, and a yellow fever certificate is also required when returning to Singapore. There are no recent (2024-2026) changes removing the visa requirement; the conservative and accurate verdict is visa-on-arrival, with eVisa as the recommended alternative.
