Guide last updated September 9, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, with at least 2 blank pages
  • Completed online e-visa application with passport bio-data page upload
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter) for the application
  • Proof of return or onward flight ticket
  • Digital passport-style photo (recent, plain background) uploaded during the online application
  • No biometrics collected in advance; fingerprints may be taken on arrival at Malabo or Bata airport
  • Travel health insurance and proof of yellow fever vaccination are required (yellow fever certificate is mandatory for entry)

Visa types

  • Tourist e-visa: single entry, valid for use within 90 days of issue, permits a stay of up to 30 days
  • Business e-visa: single entry, requires an invitation/support letter from a local company or the visitor's employer
  • Longer stays or work require a separate visa arranged in advance through the Equatoguinean embassy, since the e-visa cannot be extended locally

How to apply online

  • Apply through Equatorial Guinea's official e-visa channel; some applicants must currently route through the embassy in Berlin if the online portal is unavailable for their case
  • Steps: create an account, fill in personal and travel details, upload passport scan, photo, and yellow fever certificate, pay the fee online, and wait for e-visa approval by email
  • Fee: approximately USD 100 (around EUR 90), payable by credit card during the online application
  • Processing time: typically 3-5 business days, though it can take longer during peak periods
  • Approval arrives as a PDF e-visa to print and present with your passport at check-in and on arrival

Fees & processing time

  • E-visa fee: approximately USD 100 / EUR 90
  • No separate service fee if applying directly through the official portal
  • Total cost estimate: USD 100-110 including any bank card charges
  • Standard processing time: 3-5 working days
  • No official express option is advertised; applying at least 2 weeks ahead is recommended

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Apply well in advance — Equatorial Guinea's e-visa system can be slow or require manual follow-up by email
  • Common rejection reasons: missing yellow fever certificate, blurry passport photo upload, or unclear proof of accommodation
  • If the online portal fails, contact the Equatoguinean embassy in Berlin directly for guidance
  • Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended in addition to the mandatory yellow fever vaccine
  • There is no visa extension process inside the country — plan your exact travel dates before applying
