Gabon e-Visa

Gabon e-Visa General Information

The Gabon e-Visa is an electronic visa that allows for entering Gabon for purposes including tourism, business, and medical treatment. It is issued for all eligible travelers and remains valid for up to 6 months from the date of arrival in the country (depending on the visa type).

The Gabon electronic visa was introduced in 2015. Since then, it has been a great help in facilitating the visa application process. While the traditional procedure requires the applicant to schedule a visit at the Embassy, you can obtain an e-Visa to Gabon from home.

The port of entry that accepts Gabon e-Visa is Leon Mba International Airport in Libreville.
