What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival
  • Scanned passport bio page
  • Digital passport-style photo
  • Confirmed round-trip flight itinerary
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate - mandatory for all arriving travelers
  • Online payment method (debit/credit card) for the e-visa fee
  • No in-person biometrics for the e-visa application, though fingerprints may be taken on arrival at Libreville airport

Visa types

  • Tourist e-visa: single entry, 15 or 90 days validity depending on the option chosen
  • Business e-visa: single entry, requires an invitation letter from a Gabonese company or partner
  • Transit e-visa: short validity for onward connections

How to apply online

  • Go to evisa.dgdi.ga and create an account
  • Fill in personal and travel details
  • Upload the passport scan, photo, yellow fever certificate, and flight/accommodation proof
  • Pay the fee online by card
  • Wait for email approval, then print the approved e-visa PDF to present on arrival at Libreville Leon-Mba International Airport alongside your passport

Fees & processing time

  • E-visa fee: approximately USD 96-100 for a short-stay tourist visa, depending on the validity chosen
  • No separate service fee - it is a direct government portal
  • Processing time: typically 48-72 hours, longer during high demand
  • No official express option, so apply at least a week before travel

Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Apply as early as possible - the DGDI e-visa portal can be slow or occasionally goes offline; keep a screenshot/PDF confirmation as backup
  • Carry your yellow fever certificate physically as well as digitally - it is checked strictly on arrival
  • Common rejection reasons: blurry document uploads, mismatched flight/accommodation dates
  • No well-publicized extension process for tourists; consult the Direction Generale de la Documentation et de l'Immigration (DGDI) in Libreville if more time is needed
