Thailand to Guinea visa requirements

Thai passport holders need an eVisa to visit Guinea. Apply online before travel at the official PAF Guinea portal (paf.gov.gn), pay the USD 80 tourist fee, and receive an Entry Visa Letter. The actual visa sticker is affixed at Conakry airport after fingerprints and photo are taken. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Thailand (ordinary passport) travelers to Guinea. Guinea operates a mandatory eVisa system run by the Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF) via paf.gov.gn. Thai nationals must apply online before departure, obtain an Entry Visa Letter (pre-approval), then complete the process on arrival at Conakry-Gbessia International Airport, where immigration officers capture fingerprints and a photo and affix the physical visa sticker. The standard tourist eVisa costs USD 80, is valid for up to 90 days, allows a stay of up to 90 days, and is typically processed within about 72 hours (3 working days). A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for all travelers. Passports must be valid at least 6 months. Sources: the official PAF Guinea visa portal and Wikipedia's Thai citizen visa-requirements table confirm the eVisa requirement and 90-day stay.
