  • Business e-visa: same online process, generally requires an invitation or support letter from a Liberian host or company
  • Multiple-entry visas are available for an additional fee for travelers with frequent business in Liberia
  • Work, study, or residence permits are handled separately through Liberia's Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization after arrival

How to apply online

  • Apply through Liberia's official e-visa channel or the nearest Liberian embassy/consulate's online portal — verify you're using an official government or authorized diplomatic channel before paying any fee
  • Steps: complete the application form, upload your passport bio page and photo, submit supporting documents (invitation letter for business travel), and pay the fee online
  • Fee: approximately USD 100 for a single-entry tourist e-visa, paid by card
  • Processing time: typically 3–5 business days, though it can take longer — apply at least two weeks before travel
  • Approval arrives as an electronic visa document by email; print a copy to present at check-in and on arrival in Monrovia

Fees & processing time

  • E-visa fee: approximately USD 100 for a single-entry tourist visa (business and multiple-entry fees are higher)
  • Service fees may apply if processed through an embassy's authorized visa agent — confirm the total before paying
  • Total cost estimate: USD 100–150 depending on entry type and any service charges
  • Standard processing time: 3–5 business days
  • Express processing may be available through some diplomatic missions for an additional fee — ask directly when applying

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Get your yellow fever vaccination well before travel (it's mandatory and checked on arrival) — plan at least 10 days before departure for the certificate to be valid
  • Apply for the e-visa at least two to three weeks ahead of travel to allow for processing delays
  • Keep both digital and printed copies of your e-visa approval and yellow fever certificate — both are checked at Roberts International Airport
  • Business travelers should confirm the invitation letter requirements with their Liberian host early, as missing documentation is a common cause of delay
  • Check Global Affairs Canada's current travel advisory for Liberia before finalizing plans, and register your trip given limited consular presence
