Focused Benin visa guide
British travellers should use the passport they will actually carry to Benin and check the visa position before payment. The eVisa form ties the application to passport and intended-entry information.
UK travellers should begin with the passport they will actually use and verify whether a visa is required for their exact circumstances.
If the eVisa route is needed, duration and entry type should come from the itinerary rather than from a default choice.
Overnight flights and connections can make the Benin arrival date different from the UK departure date.
The application should use the intended Benin entry date because it becomes the start of validity.
Benin says processing can take one to 96 hours but recommends applying at least seven days before entry.
Use the recommendation, not the fastest possible outcome, when planning the task.
For passport-specific guidance, return to the nationality hub. If your trip details are settled and a visa is required, continue to the application.
