Senegal no longer requires visas for U.S. citizens for stays of fewer than 90 days. For longer stays, U.S. travelers should obtain visas directly at either the Senegalese Embassy in Washington, D.C., or the Senegalese Consulate in New York City prior to travel. As entry requirements are subject to change, travelers should obtain the latest information from the Embassy of Senegal, 2215 M Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20037, telephone (202) 234-0540. Overseas inquiries should be made at the nearest Senegalese embassy or consulate.

For travelers arriving from yellow-fever endemic countries, evidence of yellow-fever vaccination is required for entry into Senegal. Travelers arriving from yellow-fever endemic countries who are unable to provide proof of vaccinations may be required to pay for and receive vaccinations at the Dakar airport. Travelers should expect to have their temperature taken upon arrival and, if it is high, may undergo additional health screening for Ebola Virus Disease.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Senegal.
