up to 3 days~$50apply onlineon arrival

Corrected 2026-07-04: the prior record incorrectly listed this as a 5-year, USD 150 multiple-entry visa (it had been conflated with the VESRM Multiple Entry Visa). Per the official paf.gov.gn e-visa portal, the Transbordement/Transit visa (VTB) fee is USD 50 with a maximum stay not exceeding three days (DCPAF states validity of 3 to 5 days, beyond which a short-stay visa is required). Distinct from the general Transit Visa, this is the transshipment visa for travelers transferring between carriers/vessels; both are USD 50 for a maximum 3-day stay on the official portal. Requires valid passport, onward ticket, and Yellow Fever certificate. Applied online via paf.gov.gn; collected at border arrival counter.
