Liberia Visa Requirements

Select your passport above to see entry requirements for Liberia.

🇧🇸 For a Bahamas passport

With a Bahamas passport, Liberia 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 30 or 90 days (determined at airport). Processing typically takes A few days (apply 7–30 days before arrival).

The official fee is US$102.50.

One more thing worth knowing: Bahamians are not visa-exempt (only ECOWAS states are); they must pre-apply online via the official LIS Visa on Arrival portal and receive a QR-code approval before flying to Roberts International Airport..

This falls under our Africa guides.

Frequently asked questions

Is a visa on arrival for Liberia 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.
