Entry/Exit Requirements

Although U.S. citizens do not require a visa to enter Equatorial Guinea, the Government of Equatorial Guinea’s website states that U.S. citizens are required to fill out two visa application forms, present two passport photos, and provide evidence of their ability to finance their visit. If you are traveling on business, the Government of Equatorial Guinea may require a letter from your employer, stating the nature and duration of business. In addition, a certification of vaccination for small pox, yellow fever, and cholera are required to enter Equatorial Guinea. In practice, U.S. citizens are rarely asked to provide visa applications or evidence of access to funds, but it is increasingly common to be asked for proof of vaccination upon entrance.

The CDC recommends the yellow fever vaccination. Small pox and cholera vaccinations are generally not available in the United States. Immigration officials may bar entry into the country for those who cannot comply with the vaccination requirements.

U.S. citizens staying longer than 90 days should register with the local police station.

Private ships landing at an Equatoguinean port must get clearance prior to approaching the shore.
