Guinea-Bissau Visa Requirements

🇦🇴 For a Angola passport

With a Angola passport, Guinea-Bissau offers a visa on arrival, meaning you can get your visa when you land rather than applying beforehand — though it's always worth double-checking this hasn't changed before you fly.

You're allowed to stay for 90 days. Processing typically takes eVisa pre-enrolment: ~3-5 business days; otherwise issued at the border.

The official fee is eVisa short-stay ~€61.45 + €2.50 processing fee (fees vary by visa type; on-arrival fee varies).

One more thing worth knowing: Angola is not among the visa-exempt countries (only diplomatic/service passport holders of CPLP states are exempt), so ordinary Angolan passports may obtain a visa on arrival for up to 90 days or pre-enrol for a biometric eVisa via the official portal rgb-visa.com..

This falls under our Africa (West Africa) guides.

Frequently asked questions

Is a visa on arrival for Guinea-Bissau guaranteed, or can I be turned away?

Visa on arrival is a border officer's discretionary decision, not an automatic guarantee — even travelers who meet every stated requirement can occasionally be refused. Bringing exactly what's asked for (passport validity, photos, fee in the right currency, onward ticket if required) gives you the best chance of a smooth process.

Is the information on this page guaranteed to be accurate?

We check what we publish against official sources where we can, and clearly flag anything still pending verification. Even so, visa rules change — sometimes with very little notice — so please treat this page as a strong starting point, not a final word, and confirm directly with the official source linked above before you book or fly.
