Equatorial Guinea entry questions
Do citizens of Madagascar need a visa for Equatorial Guinea?
For tourism in Equatorial Guinea, ordinary passport holders from Madagascar need an eVisa before travel. Tourist visas are capped at 90 days per semester. The semester begins at first entry. Follow the duration on your issued visa, which may be shorter than this ceiling.
How long can I stay in Equatorial Guinea?
Tourist visas are capped at 90 days per semester. Decree No. 49/2019 sets a maximum total stay of 90 days per semester from first entry and says a tourist visa cannot exceed 90 days. This is the legal ceiling, not a promise that every eVisa grants all 90 days. Immigration sets the duration and conditions of each visa, so check the period on your issued visa and follow any shorter limit.
How much passport validity do I need?
At least 6 months after arrival.
How long does a decision take?
Up to 3 calendar days. The service quotes up to 72 hours for a complete application. Wait for approval before travel.
