Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit GQ?

Finnish passport holders need a visa for Equatorial Guinea. The simplest route for a short tourist visit is the official eVisa, launched on 1 July 2023 and open to all nationalities. Apply online before you travel, pay USD 75, and enter via Malabo International Airport. Finland is not on Equatorial Guinea's short visa-exempt list, so visa-free travel is not available. A Finland ordinary passport holder traveling to Equatorial Guinea for tourism requires a visa. Equatorial Guinea operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system, introduced on 1 July 2023 and managed through the government's official VFS partner portal (egonline.vfsevisa.com), which is open to applicants of all nationalities, including Finland. Finland does not appear on Equatorial Guinea's visa-exemption list, which currently covers only Barbados, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and CEMAC member states (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Gabon). The standard tourist eVisa costs USD 75, is issued for a single entry, and permits a stay of up to 30 days within a 30-day validity window. eVisa holders are generally required to arrive through Malabo International Airport. Travelers should apply at least 1-2 weeks ahead, ensure a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond entry, and carry proof of onward travel and, in most cases, a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Equatorial Guinea is in Central Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Because requirements and visa-channel availability for Equatorial Guinea have historically shifted, travelers should re-confirm on the official portal and with the nearest embassy shortly before departure.
