Guinea e-Visa
tourist visa, collected on arrival
Guinea's Central Directorate of the Border Police (DCPAF) runs an online e-Visa system. Every foreign national needs a visa except nationals of visa-waiver countries; ECOWAS citizens benefit from free movement. You apply online, receive an Entry Visa Letter once approved, and then collect the visa at the on-arrival counter, where your photo and fingerprints are taken. The tourist visa fee is USD 100.
