法国(France) 前往 塞拉利昂(Sierra Leone) 签证要求

French ordinary passport holders need a visa for Sierra Leone. The recommended route is the official eVisa, applied for online before travel. France is not on Sierra Leone's visa-exempt list, so a French citizen needs a visa for a tourist visit. The recommended and most reliable option is Sierra Leone's official eVisa (launched March 2019, run by the Sierra Leone Immigration Department), applied for and paid online before departure. While Sierra Leone also offers visa-on-arrival to EU nationals at designated entry points (Freetown/Lungi airport and the Jendema and Gbalamuya land borders) for about USD 80, this channel is not recommended as the primary plan because airlines may refuse boarding to passengers without a pre-issued visa or eVisa approval. A traditional embassy visa is also available via the Sierra Leone Embassy in Brussels, which covers France. The eVisa is single-entry, permits a stay of up to 30 days, and the approval is valid for entry within 90 days of issue. A passport valid at least 6 months and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are mandatory. Apply only through the official portal (evisa.sl) to avoid third-party surcharges. Sierra Leone is not in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
