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 online form lists Visa d'entree multiple as an application category and shows one-month, two-month, three-month, CEPGL and EAC category choices. The visa information page says the multiple-entry visa allows the holder to enter and leave Burundi at will, while limiting stay in Burundi to a maximum of 90 days.

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Select the relevant visa category on the official CGM online visa application form.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Complete the personal, passport, accommodation and travel information requested by the CGM form.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Upload the required file evidence in the format and size accepted by the CGM portal.

  4. After approval

    Submit through CGM and use the official tracking page to follow the application.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Multiple Entry Visa, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
