Overview

The authorised eVisa portal publishes separate tourist and business document lists. This guide covers a temporary business visit supported by a company invitation or business-purpose letter. Complete the online application and obtain the approval letter before travel; a payment receipt alone is not immigration approval. The portal currently enables eVisa arrival only at Malabo International Airport. Border officials make the final admission decision and stamp the passport. The business checklist is an existing published process newly covered on this website, not evidence of a newly launched government programme. It does not by itself authorise local employment.

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Select the business purpose in the official linked application and check passport details and the current checklist.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Upload the required documents and pay the displayed government/service charges through the official channel; retain the receipt.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Monitor the decision and any document request. Download and print the approved eVisa letter, checking its passport details and conditions.

  4. After approval

    At Malabo, present the passport, approval and stay evidence at the immigration visa desk, complete the requested identity checks and obtain the final passport stamp.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Business eVisa, 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.
