Guide last updated October 19, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • No visa or e-Visa application needed for stays up to 90 days
  • Proof of onward or return travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay may be requested by immigration officers
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate if arriving from an endemic country
  • Travel health insurance recommended though not mandatory
  • No biometrics required for entry beyond a standard immigration photo and fingerprint scan at the airport

Visa types

  • No visa category applies since Gambia grants visa-free entry to Pakistani passport holders
  • Entry is stamped directly into the passport at the port of arrival as a visitor permit valid up to 90 days
  • Longer stays for work or study require a separate residence permit application after arrival

Entry conditions

  • Pakistani citizens may stay in Gambia visa-free for up to 90 days per visit
  • Engaging in paid employment is not permitted under the visa-free entry; a work permit is required separately
  • On arrival, present your passport, return ticket and proof of accommodation to immigration at Banjul International Airport
  • Immigration may ask to see proof of funds for the duration of the stay
  • Extensions beyond 90 days can be requested at the Gambia Immigration Department headquarters in Banjul before the initial period expires

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies since entry is visa-free for up to 90 days
  • No processing time is needed since there is no pre-arrival application
  • Any extension request at the Immigration Department carries a modest administrative fee, typically under USD 50
  • Budget only for standard entry formalities such as a departure tax if applicable

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Carry a return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation, as immigration officers may ask for these even though no visa is required
  • Keep a copy of your yellow fever certificate if you have recently traveled through an endemic region
  • Register with the nearest Pakistani mission if staying long term, as Gambia has no Pakistani embassy and consular services are handled regionally
  • If planning to work or study, apply for the appropriate permit before or shortly after arrival rather than relying on the visa-free entry
  • Keep track of your 90-day limit carefully, as overstaying can lead to fines or travel bans on future visits
