Overview

Guinea-Bissau public official sources reviewed for this packet support electronic visa pre-enrolment, biometric visa issue at Osvaldo Vieira International Airport and published visa fees, but do not expose a complete public residence or work-permit corpus. This is lite coverage. Source-integrity note: some non-immigration page furniture on the reviewed portal appears compromised; Visa Atlas only uses the immigration-specific Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Migration Office and visa-fee content. The fee table lists a Transit and stop-over visa with single entry, 1 day duration, and a price of 55.00 EUR plus a 2.50 EUR transaction fee. Travellers should treat this as a narrow transit/stop-over class and use another visa class if they intend to visit, do business or stay longer.
