🇬🇳Guinea Visa for Tonga Citizens2026 Requirements, Fees & Documents
Tonga passport holders can apply online for a Guinea e-Visa before travel. Unlike an eTA, this is an actual visa — just issued digitally — so no embassy visit is needed for eligible short-term visits. Eligibility and covered purposes vary, so check the conditions below.
The PAF portal designates all countries not in the visa-free (code 2) category as requiring an e-visa. This includes USA, Canada, and UAE - previously recorded under visa_on_arrival with PAF 'code 1' designation, but re-classified to e_visa after 2026-06-27 re-verification: (a) US State Dept confirms US citizens must 'apply online' for a visa before travel - no VOA option; (b) official paf.gov.gn states UAE nationals require an e-visa; (c) secondary sources describing US/Canada 'code 1' as an extended-validity e-visa (up to 5 years) rather than a true visa on arrival. Visa types: Tourist Visa (USD 80, max 90 days), Transit Visa (USD 50, max 3 days), Transborderment Visa (USD 150, 5-year validity), Long Term Visa/VLS (USD 150, 1 year), Diplomatic/Service/Courtesy (VDSC, fee per approval letter). Process: apply online at paf.gov.gn/visa, receive Entry Visa Letter, collect visa at border arrival counter. Processing time: ~72 hours.

Guinea visa types
Tourist Visa
Short-stay visits for tourism and leisure purposes. Requires a valid passport, return ticket, and Yellow Fever certificate.
Applied online via paf.gov.gn; Entry Visa Letter received after approval (processing ~72 hours); physical visa collected at border arrival counter with biometric capture. Valid for stays not exceeding 90 days.
Apply here ↗Transit Visa (Visa de Transit)
For travelers passing through Guinea in transit to a third country. Permits brief stay not exceeding three days.
Applied online via paf.gov.gn; collected at border arrival counter with biometric registration. Requires valid passport, onward ticket, and Yellow Fever certificate.
Apply here ↗Transbordement Visa (Visa de Transbordement / VTB)
For travelers transiting or transshipping through Guinea to a third country; issued on presentation of an onward ticket and, where applicable, a visa for the country of final destination.
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.

These don't apply to a typical short visit, but cover other reasons people travel to Guinea. Eligibility varies by visa type — some are limited to specific nationalities, so check each one's conditions.
Long Term Visa (Visa de Long Séjour / VLS)
For foreign nationals intending to reside in Guinea for an extended period, typically for employment. Valid for one year from date of issuance.
Applied online via paf.gov.gn; collected at border arrival counter. Requires valid passport, copy of any prior visa, employment contract or equivalent supporting documentation, and Yellow Fever certificate. Non-ECOWAS foreign employers hiring foreign nationals must also obtain prior authorization from AGUIPE (Guinea's Employment Promotion Agency). Per the official PAF/DCPAF visa framework, the VLS is the long-stay category used to settle in Guinea for employment, business, family reunion, or study - Guinea does not issue separate business, student, or family visas; those purposes are documented within the VLS (employment contract, professional authorization, marriage deed, or student certificate of registration).
Apply here ↗Multiple Entry Visa (Visa de Séjour à Entrées Multiples / VESRM)
For nationals of special treaty countries holding a bilateral visa agreement with Guinea; permits repeated entries over a multi-year period.
Per Guinea's Police aux Frontières / DCPAF official visa framework (paf.gov.gn DNPAF visa page), the VESRM is issued only to nationals of countries holding a special bilateral treaty with Guinea; its validity varies between 3 and 5 years depending on the specific agreement (validity_days shown is the 5-year upper bound). Not a standard selectable option on the e-visa application form; arranged under the terms of the bilateral commitment. Fee not published on the official portal.
Apply here ↗Diplomatic, Service and Courtesy Visa (VDSC)
For holders of diplomatic, service, or official passports and invited government guests. Issued upon prior official approval.
Requires a security code authorization from the relevant Guinea authority before online application can proceed. Duration and fee are governed by the official approval documentation. Requires valid passport, appointment letter, and Yellow Fever certificate.
