Do Australia passport holders need a visa to visit GN?

Australian passport holders need a visa to visit Guinea. The simplest option is the Guinea eVisa, applied for online before travel via the official PAF (Air & Border Police) portal. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Guinea (Conakry) requires Australian ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa before arrival; there is no visa-free or visa-waiver arrangement between Australia and Guinea. Guinea operates an official electronic visa (eVisa) system run by the Direction Nationale de la Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF) at paf.gov.gn, which has largely replaced the old on-arrival/embassy process for tourists. The tourist eVisa is single-entry, valid for stays not exceeding 90 days, costs USD 80 in government fees, and is generally decided within 72 hours of submission. Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months with a blank page, a passport-style photo, proof of accommodation/return travel, and crucially a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, which is a hard entry requirement for everyone. Guinea is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen Area, so no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS applies. Australia's Smartraveller advises a high degree of caution for Guinea due to the risk of civil unrest and short-notice border closures; travelers should confirm requirements close to departure and apply only through the official portal to avoid third-party markups.
