United States to Burundi visa requirements

US passport holders need a visa for Burundi. Apply online for the eVisa via the official migration portal (migration.gov.bi) before you fly. A one-month visa costs about USD 90 and is valid for single or multiple entries; visa on arrival at Bujumbura airport is also possible, but you must still complete the online application first and obtain a validation certificate. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. A United States ordinary passport holder cannot enter Burundi visa-free. Burundi operates an online visa (eVisa) system through the General Commissariat for Migration at migration.gov.bi, and the government now expects travellers to complete the airport-entry visa application online before arriving, receiving a validation certificate that is presented on entry. A one-month visa costs USD 90, can be paid online or in cash on arrival, and is valid for either single or multiple entries with a maximum stay of 30 days per entry; the visa is generally valid for 3 months from issuance. Processing is typically around 3 working days. Visa on arrival remains available only at Melchior Ndadaye (Bujumbura) International Airport, but because the online pre-application/validation certificate is required, applying online in advance (eVisa) is the recommended and most reliable route. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory, and the passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond arrival with at least one blank page. The U.S. State Department maintains an elevated travel advisory for Burundi, so travellers should check current security conditions before booking.
