Focused Benin visa guide
The application is attached to passport data, not simply to the traveller’s name. Use the document you will carry to Benin and make sure its number and expiry date are entered correctly.
Benin’s eVisa process starts with the passport number and expiry date.
This makes the document itself more important than a generic nationality label when completing the form.
If a traveller expects to renew the passport before departure, applying against the old document can create an avoidable mismatch.
Settle the travel document first whenever possible.
Letters, numbers and expiry dates should be copied directly and then checked again before payment.
The issued eVisa cannot normally be modified, so passport typos are particularly worth preventing.
For passport-specific guidance, return to the nationality hub. If your trip details are settled and a visa is required, continue to the application.
