Gabon Traveller Information

Visas Overview

Visas are required by all and must be obtained prior to arrival. They are not available at the airport or at border crossings. Getting a visa to Gabon is notoriously difficult - from outside Africa it can cost more than 100.00, and requests can be rejected without explanation or delayed for weeks. It's better to apply for one at a Gabonese embassy in a neighbouring coutry, where it takes a couple of days and costs half as much. Proof of onward travel is also necessary.
