Lithuania to Gabon
Do I need a visa for Gabon?
Lithuanian citizens require a visa to enter Gabon. The required permission is an electronic visa (e-visa) that you must obtain online in advance; it is not issued at the border or on arrival.
The e-visa does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
Your travel document must be an ordinary Lithuanian passport. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.
National identity cards, driving licences and temporary passports are not accepted for entry to Gabon.
Are vaccinations required for Gabon?
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for travellers older than nine months. You must present an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis proving the yellow fever vaccination.
Gabon is listed as a Zika-risk area and routine travel-health precautions are advised.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
The permitted length of stay for the e-visa varies by case and is stated on the visa when it is issued; you must hold the e-visa before departure.
For any questions about visas or arrival conditions, contact a competent authority via the official channels linked on this page.
Can children travel on this route?
Children and other travellers under 18 need only an ordinary passport to travel to Gabon; no additional parental-consent documents or notarised letters are required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended for trips to Gabon but it is not a condition of entry.
Where do I get the visa?
The Gabon e-visa application is made through the official online visa portal linked on this page; once approved you receive an electronic visa. Do not attempt to obtain the e-visa in person at a border or consulate.
For consular assistance, the nearest Lithuanian embassy accredited for Gabon matters is in Cairo, Egypt; the Gabonese embassy website linked on this page is for consular help, not for applying for the e-visa.
