Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit GW?
German passport holders need a visa for Guinea-Bissau. A visa on arrival is available at Osvaldo Vieira International Airport in Bissau for around 80 EUR (30-day stay); an official eVisa can also be obtained in advance. Visas are NOT issued at land borders, so secure your visa before flying or arriving by land. Guinea-Bissau is not visa-exempt for German citizens. The German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) confirms that German nationals require a visa and that a visa on arrival can be obtained at Bissau airport for 80 EUR, valid for 30 days; visas are not available at land border crossings. An official electronic visa (eVisa) is also offered online for single- or multiple-entry stays, which the Foreign Office recommends arranging in advance where possible (or via the Guinea-Bissau embassy in Brussels, which covers Germany). Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay. Travelers should note that Guinea-Bissau has been in a political transition since the military takeover of November 2025, so entry conditions and on-the-ground procedures can change at short notice; verify current rules before departure.
