Overview

Burundi publishes visa guidance and online filing through the official Commissariat General des Migrations portal. The public pages are mainly in French and combine guidance, online forms and modal notes, so applicants should re-check the live CGM form category, document list, fee and appointment instructions immediately before filing. The CGM navigation has a dedicated Visa d'entree aeroport route, and the online form for that route lists Visa d'entree aeroport as an active category. The reviewed form showed a one-month category and asks for accommodation mode, personal, passport and travel details.

ℹ️ Who can apply?

You do not need a job offer or employer to apply for the Airport Entry Visa. This route does not lead to permanent residence. Open to qualifying applicants from all countries.
