What happens at the border

Go to immigration.gov.lr and fill out the eVisa application. Upload your passport scan and a recent photo, then pay the fee (typically $100 USD for a single-entry tourist visa). Processing takes 3–5 business days. Print the approval letter and keep it with your passport.
2
Book your flight and accommodation
Once your eVisa is approved, book a round-trip flight to Roberts International Airport (ROB) in Monrovia. Reserve your first night's accommodation — a hotel booking confirmation is fine. Keep all confirmations on your phone and printed.

After immigration, go to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any large amounts of cash or restricted items. Exit into the arrivals hall — there are taxi stands and ride-hailing options (e.g., Uber is not available, but local taxis are plentiful).
