Summary
Not confirmed on the official source. The current Guinea rule for Pakistan passport holders could not be confirmed on an official page. Check the official portal linked below before you book travel or pay any fee.
- Visa type
- E-visa (Entry Visa Letter by email; visa issued on arrival)
- Stay limit
- Less than 90 days
- Entries
- As stated on the visa
Guinea’s border police (Central Directorate of the Border Police, DCPAF) state that every foreign national needs a visa to enter Guinea, except citizens of visa-waiver countries. Pakistan is not in the waiver group on the official e-visa portal, so Pakistani passport holders must apply online before travel. An approved application produces an Entry Visa Letter by email. The visa itself is then issued at the visa-on-arrival counter, where your photo and fingerprints are taken.
Guinea, on West Africa’s Atlantic coast, is the source of the Niger, Senegal and Gambia rivers, with the misty plateaus and waterfalls of the Fouta Djallon and the forests of Mount Nimba near the Liberian border. Pakistani citizens need a visa.
The Central Directorate of the Border Police says every foreign national needs a visa except citizens of visa-waiver countries. Pakistan is not in that group on the official portal, so you apply online through Guinea’s Electronic Travel Authorisation system before travelling.
The standard entry visa costs USD 100 and covers a stay of under 90 days. Turkey, the UK and the US pay higher reciprocity rates, but Pakistani applicants pay the standard amount. Fees are not returned if the visa is refused.
Approval comes as an Entry Visa Letter sent by email. You present it at the visa-on-arrival counter, where the visa is issued and your photo and fingerprints are recorded.
Bring a passport valid over six months, a return ticket, a yellow fever certificate, proof of accommodation and enough money for the trip. Paid work needs a long-stay visa, which costs USD 500 a year.
Checklist
Document requirements
- Online e-visa application on the Guinea portal (paf.gov.gn/visa)
- Pakistani passport valid more than six months, plus a scanned copy of the data page
- Valid return ticket
- Yellow fever vaccination certificate
- Proof of accommodation in Guinea
- Evidence of sufficient funds (cash, travellers cheques or cards)
- Entry Visa Letter received by email after approval
- Visa fee of USD 100, paid online and not refunded
Pakistan is not a visa-waiver country for Guinea and is not among the nationalities charged a special reciprocity fee, so the standard USD 100 entry visa applies.

Fees
Only where a visa or permit is required.
Official fee
US$100
Guinea’s e-visa portal lists a standard fee of USD 100 for an entry (tourist) visa. Higher reciprocity rates apply only to Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, so Pakistani applicants pay the standard rate. Transit and transshipment visas cost USD 50 and a long-stay visa USD 500 per year. Fees are kept even if the visa is refused.
