Overview
Guinea coverage is lite because the reviewed official public source packet is the Government of Guinea eVisa service and DCPAF-facing visa material. It gives strong route detail for electronic travel authorisation, tourist, transborderment, transit, long term, and diplomatic/service/courtesy visas, but it does not expose a separate modern public checklist for every residence, work-permit, family or study filing step after entry. Applicants should use the official eVisa service and confirm any employment, professional activity, family, study, internship, residence, renewal or local-registration step with DCPAF, the competent Guinean authority, an employer, school, host or diplomatic mission before relying on a route. The official Long Term Visa (VLS) tab states validity of 1 year from issuance and a USD 150 fee. For foreign nationals desirous of engaging in salaried employment in Guinea, it lists a contract of employment duly approved by the authorities. The same tab also lists passport validity, scanned passport data page, scanned previous visa for prorogation, return ticket, yellow fever certificate and repatriation guarantee, plus online application, Entry Visa Letter and arrival enrolment.
