Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Guinea visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa for Guinea. Apply online for the Guinea eVisa at the official PAF portal (paf.gov.gn) before travel; the tourist eVisa costs USD 80, is single-entry, and allows a stay of under 90 days. You receive an Entry Visa Letter to print, and your photo and fingerprints are captured at the visa-on-arrival counter at Conakry airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Guinea (Republic of Guinea, capital Conakry) is a West African country and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Taiwan (Republic of China) ordinary passport holders are not on Guinea's visa-exempt list and must obtain a visa. Guinea operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system through the official Police de l'Air et des Frontières (PAF) portal at paf.gov.gn, which is open to nationals of all countries that require a visa. The process is hybrid: you apply and pay online (USD 80 for the tourist category), receive an acknowledgement email and then an approved Entry Visa Letter, print it, and on arrival at Conakry's Ahmed Sekou Toure International Airport you proceed to the visa-issuing counter where your photograph and fingerprints are captured and the physical visa is affixed to your passport. The tourist eVisa is single entry with a stay of under 90 days. Authorities target processing within roughly 72 hours, though allowing several business days is prudent. A WHO International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever (administered at least 10 days before arrival) is required without exception, along with a passport valid 6+ months, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. Approval is at the discretion of the Guinean authority and fees are non-refundable, so apply only through the official portal and well ahead of travel. Because Taiwan does not maintain a resident Guinean embassy relationship in the usual way, the online eVisa route is the practical channel for most Taiwanese tourists.
