Guide last updated September 24, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry, scanned in full colour
  • Digital passport-size photo, white background
  • Proof of onward/return travel (flight itinerary)
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter from a local host/company)
  • Bank statements showing sufficient funds for your stay
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate — mandatory, since Kenya is a yellow-fever-risk country
  • Travel health insurance is recommended for the duration of your stay

Visa types

  • Tourist e-Visa — single entry, valid for a short stay (commonly up to 30 days)
  • Business e-Visa — requires a letter of invitation from a company or organization in Equatorial Guinea, similar validity to the tourist category
  • Multiple-entry and longer-stay visas typically require direct engagement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a Guinean diplomatic mission rather than the standard online e-visa

How to apply online

  • Submit your application and documents through the designated official e-visa channel for Equatorial Guinea, confirming the current authorized portal before applying since access points have changed over time
  • Upload your passport scan, photo, yellow fever certificate, and accommodation/invitation details
  • Pay the e-visa fee online (USD)
  • Applications are reviewed remotely by consular staff; processing communication is typically by email
  • Once approved, the e-visa or entry authorization is issued electronically — print a copy to present alongside your passport on arrival

Fees & processing time

  • E-visa fee: approximately USD 100 for a standard single-entry tourist/business e-visa
  • No separate service fee if applying directly through the official government channel
  • Standard processing time: 5-10 business days from a complete submission
  • Processing can take longer for business applications requiring verification of the inviting company
  • No official express option is generally available

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks ahead of travel, since Equatorial Guinea's e-visa processing and communication can be slower than other e-visa systems
  • Have your yellow fever certificate ready and clearly scanned — this is closely checked given Kenya's risk classification
  • Confirm the latest official application channel directly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the nearest Guinean diplomatic mission before applying, as unofficial sites can cause delays or scams
  • Business travelers should secure a clear, signed invitation letter from the host company in advance to avoid processing delays
  • Equatorial Guinea has no embassy in Kenya, so plan for all communication to happen remotely and keep records of every submission
