Eligibility

• Citizens of nations requiring a visa who are able to apply online are eligible (more than 140 nationalities qualify). • A valid passport must have at least one blank page and be valid for at least six months after arrival. • Travel for business, pleasure, or brief trips only. • Online application: Fill out the digital form with your passport and personal information. • A working email account is necessary in order to obtain the authorized e-Visa. • The visa fee can be paid with an active debit or credit card. • Return tickets, lodging information, and bank records are examples of supporting documentation that are frequently asked for. • Health requirement: In order to enter, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is needed.

Important Notes

• You have to reapply after leaving Benin because the visa only allows one entry. • Upon arrival, the approval needs to be printed and brought for presentation. • A passport must be valid for a minimum of six months from the date of admission. • A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required in order to enter Benin. • Approval of a visa does not ensure admission; border officers have the last say. • Apply well in advance (typically three to five days prior to departure). • Fines, penalties, or future travel restrictions may follow overstaying.

Rejection Reasons
