Visa on arrival

  • Pay the visa fee in cash (euros or USD generally accepted) at the counter.
  • Your photo and/or fingerprints are taken, and the visa is stamped directly into your passport.

Fees & processing time

  • Single-entry visa on arrival: approx. $75 USD, payable in cash at the airport.
  • Extended or multiple-entry options may carry a higher fee, confirmed at the visa desk.

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Carry sufficient cash in euros or USD, as card payment is often unavailable at the airport visa desk.

  • Arrive prepared for a manual, sometimes slow process, especially if several flights land around the same time.
  • Keep a couple of extra passport photos on hand in case the standard documents on file are insufficient.
  • If you need to extend your stay, visit the immigration department in Bissau before your visa-on-arrival period expires.
