Gabonese Republic visas
Gabon publishes a live official eVisa platform through DGDI, with public APIs for eVisa categories, durations, fees, purpose options and purpose-specific documents. This initial Visa Atlas packet is eVisa-focused: it covers single-entry and multiple-entry eVisas, tourism, business/event, family/friend visit, medical, professional/mission purposes and eVisa extension limits. Broader settlement, work and residence-card details should be confirmed directly with DGDI or eDGDI before relying on a checklist.
