Tips for China travelers

  • Apply at least 1 week before travel to allow for any requests for additional documents
  • Make sure the yellow fever certificate is valid and matches the passport details exactly, as this is strictly checked on arrival
  • Keep both a digital and printed copy of the e-Visa approval, since connectivity at the airport can be unreliable
  • Business travelers should carry a formal invitation letter from the Gabonese host company to speed up immigration checks
