Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Guinea eVisa portal. Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (typically around $80–$100 USD) with a credit card. Processing takes 3–7 business days. You'll receive the eVisa by email as a PDF.

Print or save your eVisa
Once approved, print a paper copy and also save the PDF on your phone. Airlines may check it before boarding, and immigration at Conakry International Airport (CKY) will ask to see it.
