Thailand to Equatorial Guinea visa requirements

Q: Is Thailand on Equatorial Guinea's visa-exempt list?

No. Only a small number of nationalities (Barbados, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE) and CEMAC member states are exempt. Thai citizens need an eVisa.

Q: How much does the eVisa cost and how long does it take?

The government fee is about US$75 and approval is normally issued within 24-72 hours (allow up to 3 business days) by email.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required?

Yes. A valid International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is mandatory, with the dose given at least 10 days before arrival.

Q: How long can I stay as a tourist?

The tourist eVisa is typically single entry and allows a stay of up to 90 days.

Thai ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Equatorial Guinea for tourism. Thailand is not on the short visa-exempt list, so apply online before travel via the official egonline.vfsevisa.com/gnq portal and enter via Malabo International Airport. A Thailand ordinary passport holder traveling to Equatorial Guinea for a short tourist visit requires a visa, obtained as an eVisa. Equatorial Guinea launched its electronic visa system on 1 July 2023 through the official government portal operated by VFS (egonline.vfsevisa.com/gnq). Thailand is NOT among the limited visa-exempt nationalities (which include Barbados, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, and CEMAC member states), so a Thai citizen must apply for the eVisa online before departure. The tourist eVisa is typically single entry, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and costs approximately US$75 in government fees. Approval is normally issued within 24-72 hours (allow up to 3 business days) and delivered by email. eVisa holders must arrive via Malabo International Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate (International Certificate of Vaccination) is mandatory, administered at least 10 days before arrival, and passports must be valid at least 6 months beyond the arrival date with blank pages. There is no visa-on-arrival or visa-free channel for Thai citizens, so the eVisa is the required route. Travelers should also carry proof of accommodation, return/onward tickets, and evidence of travel medical insurance.
