Do I Need a Visa for Gambia?

Can I Obtain My Visa for Gambia upon Arrival?

There have been reports of travelers being permitted to enter Gambia without a visa. However, entrance without a visa is by no means guaranteed, and, assuming you are permitted to enter, you will have only two working days to go to the Department of Immigration in Banjul and obtain a visa. If you do not comply, you could face fines and deportation. Save yourself the hassle of having to make a separate trip to the Department of Immigration where you will likely face very long waits by obtaining your visa for Gambia in advance.

What Types of Materials Support My Gambia Visa Application?

To apply for a Gambia visa, you will need:

• Valid Passport
• Passport Photos that Meet the Embassy of Gambia’s Requirements
• Properly Completed Gambia Visa Application Form
• Money Order

Depending on the details of your trip to Gambia, you may also need:

• Business Introduction Letter
