Reviewed 28 June 2026Ministry of Interior and Public Security, Senegal ↗
Rule changes note —Senegal publishes current public entry guidance through the Foreign Affairs ministry and tourism agency, and publishes foreigner identity-card procedure detail through the Interior ministry. The reviewed source set is strongest for short-stay entry rules, the foreigner identity card and worker declaration steps. It does not expose a separate public foreign-work-permit checklist, so employment pages should be read as residence/identity-card plus labour-declaration guidance, not as a standalone work-permit substitute.

Overview

The Interior procedure page describes the workflow after filing and distinguishes first requests from duplicate or renewal handling. It says first applications move to decision-sheet handling, while duplicate or renewal entries move to foreigner-card production. The page does not publish a separate detailed renewal checklist in the reviewed text, so applicants should use the same official page to confirm the current DPETV instructions and bring the existing card, current identity documents and any updated work, study or residence evidence relevant to their status.
