Focused Benin visa guide
U.S. travellers planning Benin should settle the visa question before the final flight week. If an eVisa is required for the trip, the published online choices are 30-day single entry, 30-day multiple entry and 90-day multiple entry.
A U.S. traveller should check whether the exact passport and circumstances require a visa before paying. The broad 90-day visa-free statement on Benin’s FAQ is for African nationals.
If an eVisa is needed, the published online route can then be matched to the itinerary.
A departure from the United States may arrive in Benin on a later calendar date after connections.
Use the actual intended Benin entry date in the application because Benin says that date starts visa validity.
Payment uses supported 3-D Secure Visa or Mastercard, and the application number is sent by email after confirmed payment.
Make sure both the card authentication and the email account are accessible while applying.
For passport-specific guidance, return to the nationality hub. If your trip details are settled and a visa is required, continue to the application.
