Türkiye to Guinea visa requirements

Q: Is there a true visa on arrival for Guinea?

No standard visa-on-arrival for tourists. You must obtain the eVisa approval online first; only the biometric enrollment and visa issuance are completed at Conakry airport.

Q: How much does the Guinea eVisa cost?

The government eVisa fee is approximately USD 80 for a single-entry stay of up to 90 days. Third-party agents charge extra.

Q: How long does the eVisa take to process?

Approval is typically issued within about 72 hours, though you should allow 3-4 business days and apply well before departure.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for the eVisa application and is checked again on arrival in Guinea.

Q: How long can I stay in Guinea on the eVisa?

Up to 90 days. The visa is valid for 90 days from issue, so enter within that period.

A Turkey ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Guinea, but it can be obtained online as an eVisa before travel. No visa-free entry or true visa-on-arrival exists for Turkish tourists; only Turkish diplomatic passport holders are visa-exempt. Turkey is not on Guinea's visa-exemption list for ordinary passports, so a Turkish tourist must hold a valid visa to enter. The practical route is Guinea's electronic visa (eVisa), applied for online through the national police (PAF) eVisa portal. Applicants complete a form, upload a passport bio-page, photo and a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and pay roughly USD 80 for a single-entry stay of up to 90 days. After online approval (typically within about 72 hours / 3-4 business days), the traveler receives an Entry Visa Letter by email; the actual visa sticker is finalized at the PAF eVisa counter on arrival at Conakry-Gbessia International Airport, where biometrics (photo and fingerprints) are captured. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory both for the application and at entry. Travelers should print the approval letter and carry a return ticket and proof of accommodation. Note: only Turkish diplomatic passport holders are visa-free (up to 90 days). Always confirm current details on the official PAF portal before booking, as African eVisa systems change frequently.
