Step-by-Step Application Process

Open the official e-Visa portal

Go directly to the Equatorial Guinea government's e-Visa website — bypassing third-party "expedite" sites avoids inflated fees and protects your data. Bookmark the URL before applying.

Complete the application and pay online

Fill in personal, passport and travel details, upload a passport photo and bio-page scan, and pay the official fee with a credit or debit card. Submit and save the reference number.

Receive and print the approval

The approved e-Visa arrives by email as a PDF. Print at least one paper copy and keep a digital copy on your phone — both are commonly required at the airline check-in and the border.

Required Documents

—Passport from United Kingdom valid at least 6 months beyond entry
—High-resolution scan of the passport bio-page
—Recent passport-style digital photo meeting portal specifications
—Confirmed return or onward flight booking
—Hotel reservation or address of host in the destination
—Travel insurance certificate (where mandated)
—Credit or debit card to pay the official e-Visa fee

Important Tips

•Apply only via the official government portal — search for ".gov" or the embassy site, never the first ad result.
•Submit at least 7 days before departure; rare manual reviews can extend the wait by several days.
•Print the approval — many airlines refuse boarding without a paper copy at check-in.
•Double-check the passport number on the approval against your passport; typos are rejected at the border.

Easiest Way to Get It

Apply on the official portal at least a week before travel, pay with a card, then print the PDF approval the moment it arrives — that single sheet plus the matching passport is everything the border needs.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
