Visas

British nationals require a visa to visit Equatorial Guinea.  To apply for a visa and to obtain further information on entry requirements.

You are advised to check that your passport is properly endorsed/stamped at the airport, on arrival and departure, before leaving the immigration desk.  There have been reports of travellers being delayed or threatened with detention because their passports have not been properly endorsed/stamped.

When acquiring a new travel document, please request the issuing authority to return your previous cancelled travel document to you. The old document will be required by the Equatorial Guinea authorities prior to issuing a replacement visa. If you have a new travel document you should ensure that you obtain a new or replacement visa for Equatorial Guinea into your new passport before travelling.  The Equatorial Guinean authorities will not admit travellers on visas entered into old passports, even if the visa is still valid.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate

Please note that immigration / health authorities in Equatorial Guinea now require an international vaccination certificate in order to enter/leave Equatorial Guinea. All flights are systematically checked.

A tax of 5,000 cfa will be levied for those who do not produce the yellow booklet. As all airlines have been informed, entry refusal may occur if this rule is not complied with.

Travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.
