The passport nationality you travel on determines which visa rule you should check first. Benin publishes a broad visa-free rule for African nationals and an online eVisa route for foreign visitors.
Nationality determines the first question
A Ghanaian passport holder and an Austrian passport holder should not start from the same assumption because Benin states that African nationals may visit visa-free for 90 days.
Nationality is therefore a policy filter before it is an SEO keyword.
Use the passport you will travel on
Dual nationals should check the rule attached to the document they intend to present for the journey.
Changing passports after the application can create a mismatch between the authorization and the travel document.
Country guidance should lead to the common application rules
After nationality is settled, applicants who need an eVisa can compare the same published duration and entry choices and follow the online process.
That keeps country-specific policy separate from the mechanics of the form.
