Poland to Guinea
Do I need a visa for Guinea?
Polish citizens need a visa to enter Guinea. The visa is an electronic visa (e-visa) that you must apply for online in advance and hold before departure; it is not issued at the border.
The e-visa’s validity varies by case, so check the dates and conditions on the approval you receive. The e-visa does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel on a biometric passport. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you submit your visa application and for the entire period of your stay in Guinea.
National identity cards, driving licences and temporary passports are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Guinea?
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory and must be recorded in your International Certificate of Vaccination (the ‘yellow card’). Carry that certificate for inspection.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
No specific authorised length of stay is given here; check the validity dates and any stay limits shown on your approved e-visa.
To extend a stay or for penalties for overstaying, follow the procedures shown by Guinean authorities — any extension or penalty information will be stated by the authorities and on the e-visa decision you receive.
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 need the same accepted travel document as adults — a biometric passport — and do not require additional parental-consent paperwork for entry.
Do I need travel insurance?
Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment, hospitalisation, medical evacuation and accident consequences is recommended but is not a condition of entry.
Where do I get the visa?
The e-visa application is made through the official Guinean e-visa portal linked on this page; you must obtain and hold the approved e-visa before you travel. Do not expect to obtain this permission at an embassy or on arrival.
Guinea does not maintain an embassy in Poland; the nearest Guinean embassy for consular matters is in Senegal.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get my visa when I arrive in Guinea?

Do I have to visit an embassy to apply?
The application is made through the official Guinean e-visa portal; there is no in-person application at an embassy or consulate for this permit.

You need a biometric passport. National ID cards, driving licences and temporary passports are not accepted for entry to Guinea on this route.
How long must my passport be valid?
Your biometric passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you submit your visa application and for the whole of your stay in Guinea.
Will I need to prove I have enough money for my trip?
You will not be asked to show proof of funds such as bank statements or cash when entering Guinea on this tourist route.
Is travel insurance compulsory?
Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended and should cover medical treatment, hospitalisation, medical evacuation and accident consequences, but it is not a condition of entry.
Do I have to fill in an arrival card or register on arrival?

If you are under 18, you only need the same accepted travel document as adults (a biometric passport); no extra parental-consent paperwork is required for entry.
Where can I get consular help if something goes wrong?
Because Guinea has no embassy in Poland, consular help for Polish citizens may be limited; the nearest Guinean embassy is in Senegal and other EU embassies in-country can provide diplomatic and consular assistance on the same basis as for their nationals.
What form does the visa take and how long will it be valid?
The permission granted is an electronic visa (e-visa). Its validity period varies by case, so check the decision you receive for the allowed dates and conditions.
What should I carry to show at check-in and immigration?
Because the e-visa must be obtained before travel and is checked at departure and on arrival, carry both your biometric passport and the printed or digital copy of the approved e-visa and your yellow fever certificate.
Who should I contact if entry rules change shortly before travel?
If regulations change suddenly, contact the relevant Guinean embassy for up-to-date rules; for Polish travellers the embassy in Berlin or the Guinean embassy in Senegal are referenced for consular matters.
