Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Guinea. Airlines check this at check-in — if it expires before you leave, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Guinea | Immigration at Conakry Airport asks for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone — they don't always check, but when they do, they're firm. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration rarely asks, but if you're arriving without a plan, they may question your purpose of visit. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry enough cash (Euros or USD) for your stay — around $50–100 per day is a safe benchmark. Immigration rarely asks, but if you look like you're traveling on zero budget, they might. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory
You must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) upon arrival. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot at your own expense.
Cash is king in Guinea
Credit cards are rarely accepted outside major hotels in Conakry. Bring enough euros or US dollars to exchange for your stay. ATMs exist but often run out of cash or are out of service.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before departure
Print or save digital copies of your passport info page, return ticket, and first night hotel booking. Also download an offline map of Conakry — mobile data can be patchy.
2
Arrive at Conakry International Airport (CKY)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Passport Control'. There's usually one queue for all foreigners. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
3
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and hotel booking. Answer clearly and politely. The visa-free entry stamp is free — no payment required.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After getting your stamp, proceed to baggage claim. Customs is usually straightforward for personal items. Then exit into the arrivals hall.
