Do UAE passport holders need a visa to visit GN?

UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa for Guinea and should obtain an eVisa online before traveling through the official PAF portal (paf.gov.gn). The tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 90 days and costs about USD 80. Although IATA/Timatic still lists a visa-on-arrival option for UAE citizens, Guinea's own border police (DCPAF/PAF) require an eVisa Entry Visa Letter obtained online prior to boarding, so eVisa is the reliable route. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. A United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holder is NOT visa-exempt for Guinea. Guinea's exemption list covers ECOWAS states plus a handful of others (Algeria, Egypt, Mali, Morocco, Namibia, Niger, Rwanda, Singapore, Tunisia) and does not include the UAE. The correct and conservative route is the Guinea eVisa, applied for through the official Border Police portal at paf.gov.gn. The applicant submits an online application, receives an Entry Visa Letter by email after approval (typically 3-4 business days), and then completes biometric capture and final visa issuance at the visa counter on arrival in Conakry. The tourist eVisa permits a stay not exceeding 90 days and costs roughly USD 80 (single entry). While IATA Timatic data has shown a visa-on-arrival channel of up to 90 days for UAE nationals, the Guinean authority's official guidance directs travelers to secure the eVisa online before departure; airlines may deny boarding without it. A valid passport (6+ months validity), return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, proof of sufficient funds, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are required. Given the conflict between Timatic and the official Guinean source, we default to the documented, verifiable eVisa channel.
