Romania to Gabon
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, ensure your Romanian passport will be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned date of entry into Gabon. Obtain and carry proof of yellow fever vaccination; this vaccination is mandatory for entry.
Arrange the required physical visa in advance at a Gabonese embassy or consulate where possible. If you cannot obtain the visa before travel, a visa can also be granted on arrival at the airport.
Note that Gabon does not have an embassy in Romania; the nearest Gabonese embassy is in Nigeria, so you will need to contact a Gabonese diplomatic mission (for example in Nigeria) for consular visa services if applying in person.
Travel insurance is recommended for your trip, though it is not a condition of entry.
