Benin Visa On Arrival | Benin eVisa Before Travel

What Benin Currently Uses

What Benin currently uses is an online eVisa that you arrange before travel, not a true walk-up visa on arrival. UK travel advice says you should apply online at least 7 days before arrival and then receive the visa on arrival at Cotonou airport after that prior online process. U.S. travel advice is stricter in wording and says travelers must have a valid visa and should not expect visas to be issued on the spot at airport, land, or sea entry points.

Benin Visa On Arrival | Get Benin Visa Within 48 Hours

The “within 48 hours” wording is often used by private visa-support websites, but it is not the safest official promise to rely on. The more dependable planning rule is to complete the online process in advance and apply at least 7 days before travel.

Benin Embassy Visa On Arrival

All visitors to Benin who require a visa should obtain it through the Benin eVisa process before departure. You should get a short-stay or multiple-entry eVisa by applying and paying online. The final visa is then presented and completed on arrival at the airport in Cotonou after the prior online process.

Visas On Arrival for Nigeria, Ghana and Togo

Non-residents in Benin who wish to travel onward to Nigeria and Ghana should arrange those visas before travelling to Benin. Travelers can often obtain a visa for Togo at the Togolese Embassy in Cotonou or at the Togo-Benin border, subject to current border practice.

Visitors to Benin must obtain a visa from a Beninese diplomatic mission or apply for an eVisa, unless they come from one of the visa-exempt countries. For longer stays, residence, employment, or permit-based travel, a different visa type may be required through a Benin embassy or consulate.
