Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Gabon visa requirements

Q: Where do I apply for the Gabon e-Visa?

Apply only through the official DGDI portal at evisa.dgdi.ga. Avoid third-party sites that add service charges.

Q: How much does the Gabon e-Visa cost?

You pay a EUR 15 file processing fee online when applying, then the EUR 70 (45,000 XAF) government fee in cash on arrival for a single-entry visa. A six-month multiple-entry option costs EUR 185 (120,000 XAF).

Q: Is the Gabon tourist e-Visa still free?

No. The free promotional tourist e-Visa applied only to applications submitted between 1 July and 30 September 2025 and has expired. Standard fees now apply.

Q: Which airport must I use with a Gabon e-Visa?

The e-Visa is valid only for arrivals by air via Léon Mba International Airport (LBV) in Libreville.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. Gabon requires a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever, which may be checked on arrival.

Taiwanese ordinary passport holders need an e-Visa to visit Gabon for tourism. Apply online at the official DGDI portal (evisa.dgdi.ga), pay a €15 file fee online, and pay the €70 (45,000 XAF) government visa fee in cash on arrival. You must enter by air via Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. Gabon is not visa-free for Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders. As of 1 June 2026, Taiwanese travelers must obtain a Gabonese e-Visa before travel through the official portal managed by the Directorate General of Documentation and Immigration (DGDI) at evisa.dgdi.ga. The application requires the passport bio-data page, a recent photo, and supporting travel details; a €15 file processing fee is paid online when applying. The e-Visa is normally approved within roughly 48-72 hours, after which the traveler pays the €70 / 45,000 XAF government visa fee in cash at a dedicated e-Visa counter on arrival, where the visa sticker is issued. The standard single-entry e-Visa permits a stay of up to 30 days (multiple-entry six-month options exist for €185 / 120,000 XAF). A free promotional tourist e-Visa ran only from 1 July to 30 September 2025 and has expired, so the paid process now applies. Crucially, the e-Visa is valid only for arrivals by air via Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. Gabon also requires a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever. Gabon is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen/ETIAS rules do not apply. Travelers should apply only through the official DGDI portal to avoid overcharging third-party sites.
