Visas are an essential part of travel – the physical gatekeepers of entry or exit into a country – and citizens of many countries outside Africa will need a visa to visit Benin .

Currently, citizens of 55 countries can enter Benin visa-free, but the majority of these countries are in Africa . Travelers on this list are granted entry into the country for 90 days as part of reciprocal visa exemption agreements with other countries.

If you're not a national of a country in ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) or another African country, you will most likely need to apply for a visa in order to enter Benin. However, tourists from Israel, Haiti and some East and Southeast Asian countries are permitted short visa-free stays in Benin, ranging from 14 days to 90 days, depending on their nationality.

All other foreigners require a transit, tourist or business visa to visit Benin. Make sure you apply early – roughly one to two months in advance. Currently, no nationalities are banned from getting a visa to visit Benin. If you plan to visit Benin alongside other countries in Africa, it is important to secure your visas ahead of time,or confirm that you can get a visa on arrival for the countries you are visiting.

Tourist visas for Benin

Tourist visas for Benin include 30-day single-entry visas, 30-day multiple-entry visas and 90-day multiple-entry visas. If you are traveling to Benin for a short period of time,  it is recommended to get a 30-day multiple-entry visa in case you decide to detour to neighboring countries like Nigeria, Ghana or Togo.

The easiest way to go about this is by visiting the Benin e-visa website , which can be accessed by citizens of 140 countries, including most nations in Europe, Asia and the Americas. You can obtain an e-visa to visit Benin for transit, tourism and business purposes; see the guidance on the e-visa site for more information.

Applying via the website eliminates the need to spend time queuing at a Beninese embassy or consulate in person. However, if you have questions that are not answered by the e-visa website, it's worth contacting the Beninese embassy responsible for the country where you reside.

Travelers from countries in Europe and the UK should contact the Embassy of Benin in Paris ; travelers from the United States and North America should contact the Embassy of Benin in Washington, DC .

Other kinds of visas for Benin

If you would like to visit Benin for a period longer than 90 days, or need a work visa, student visa or resident visa, you will need to apply for a visa through the nearest Beninese diplomatic mission (or the diplomatic mission responsible for your home country).

Cost of visa s for Benin

The cost of your visa will depend on your nationality and the region of the world you are applying from. As a guide, fees are currently around US$60 for a 30-day single-entry visa, around US$85 for a 30-day multiple-entry visa, and around US$110 for a 90-day multiple-entry visa.

To apply for a visa, you'll need a passport valid for six months from the date you apply. If you are also planning to visit Togo , your passport needs to have at least one year of remaining validity. You'll also need a yellow fever certificate and at least two blank pages free in your passport (this is a requirement for all African countries) . Passport photos are needed for in-person applications.

You'll also need to provide details of your arrival flight and departure flight   (the date of arrival you provide will be the start date for your visa) and the address of the hotel where you are spending your first night. For more information about visas for Benin, start by reading the guidance on the official government e-visa website.

A yellow fever certificate is required

All visitors traveling to Benin need a yellow fever certificate to prove they have been vaccinated against the disease. You'll need to provide this proof of vaccination when you apply for a visa. If you don't have a certificate already, make sure you get vaccinated well in advance – the vaccine takes at least 10 days to become active. Vaccination against yellow fever is mandatory for a number of other African countries, and also in some parts of Asia.

Travel Advisory July 31, 2023

Benin - level 2: exercise increased caution.

Reissued with obsolete COVID-19 page links removed.

Exercise increased caution in Benin due to  crime, kidnapping, terrorism, and  maritime crime. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Do Not Travel to:

The northern regions of Benin, including:

• The cities of Kandi and Tanguieta
• North from Kandi and Tanguieta to the Niger / Burkina Faso border
• Pendjari and W National Parks, Zones Cynegetique De La Pendjari, De Latakora, and De Djona, and the adjacent hunting zones
• RNIE 7 between Banikora and Segbana
• RN10 between Nikki and Segbana

Violent crime, such as armed robbery and assault, is common in Benin. There is a risk of maritime crime, including violent attacks and kidnapping at sea, in the Gulf of Guinea.

Terrorists continue plotting attacks in Benin. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, and could target shop, markets, hotels, places of worship, restaurants, bars, schools, government installations, transportation hubs, and other places where crowds gather.

Read the  country information page  for additional information on travel to Benin.

If you decide to travel to Benin:

• Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.
• Use caution when walking or driving at night.
• Keep a low profile.
• Enroll in the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)  to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Follow the Department of State on  Facebook  and  Twitter .
• Review the  Country Security Report  for Benin.
• Obtain comprehensive travel medical insurance that includes medical evacuation prior to travel.
• Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the  Traveler’s Checklist .
• Visit the CDC page for the latest  Travel Health Information  related to your travel.

Northern Benin – Level 4: Do Not Travel

Extremist groups have carried out attacks in areas of southern Burkina Faso, southern Niger and northern Benin (including near Park Pendjari, Park W, and adjacent hunting zones). Attacks may occur with little or no warning.  Western tourists have been kidnapped in Park Pendjari, in northern Benin.

Extremist groups have also operated in the vicinity of Kandi and Tanguieta and in the northeastern border region between Benin and Nigeria, specifically in the border region north of Nikki. Attacks may occur with little or no warning. Foreign nationals and residents are at risk of kidnapping in this region.

The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Benin’s northern border areas. U.S. government employees are prohibited from personal travel and must obtain special authorization for official travel to the regions described above.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

Travelers to Benin must present a valid passport and visa to enter the country. Visas are not available upon entry at the airport or at any land or sea arrival point.

Benin offers an eVisa for tourism, business, and transit travelers. An application for an eVisa can be made online between 7 and 90 days before you travel. The eVisa is generally valid for 30 or 90 days. However, U.S. citizens can extend the validity to 36 months without additional costs by presenting a valid eVisa and a U.S. passport to the nearest Beninese embassy or consular office. While in the United States, requests for this extension can be made at the Embassy of Benin, located at:

2124 Kalorama Road NW Washington, DC 20008 Telephone:  202-232-6656

Visit the website of the Embassy of Benin for contact information and for details on the most current visa and entry requirements.

As of 2019, visitors to Benin must receive a yellow fever vaccine and must present a World Health Organization Yellow Card ( Carte Jaune ) at entry to document that the vaccine was administered. Visit the World Health Organization for more information on the Yellow Card and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information about obtaining a yellow fever vaccine.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Benin.

Safety and Security

Terrorism:  Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad.  Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected and focused on vulnerable targets, such as:

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

Extremist groups have carried out attacks in areas of Burkina Faso adjacent to Benin’s northern border, near Park Pendjari, Park W, and adjacent hunting zones. Attacks may occur with little or no warning. Western tourists have been kidnapped in Park Pendjari in northern Benin. U.S. government employees are restricted from personal travel to Park Pendjari, Park W, other areas within 50 km of Benin’s northern border with Burkina Faso, and areas north of the RNIE 7 route from Banikoara to the Nigerian border (not including the cities of Kandi and Segbana). The U.S. Department of State recommends tourists reconsider travel to these areas.

For more information, see our terrorism page.

Crime:  Street crime is a significant problem in urban areas. Robbery and muggings occur on major thoroughfares and in neighborhoods, including those where expatriates and diplomatic staff live, where popular bars and restaurants are located, and on the beaches near hotels frequented by international visitors. Most reported incidents involve the use of force, by armed persons, with minor injury to the victim. There have been reports of individuals impersonating police officers.

Travelers should avoid the Dantokpa Market between the hours of dusk and dawn.

Demonstrations  occur occasionally. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events. 

• Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly become violent. 
• Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations. 
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.

International Financial Scams:  See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information.

Internet romance and financial scams are prevalent in Benin. Scams are often initiated through Internet postings/profiles or by unsolicited emails and letters. Scammers almost always pose as U.S. citizens who have no one else to turn to for help. Common scams include: 

• Romance/Online dating
• Money transfers
• Contracts with promises of large commissions
• Grandparent/Relative targeting
• Work permits/job offers

Victims of Crime:  U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Report crimes to the local police at +(229) 21-30-30-25 or +(229) 21-30-20-11, and contact the U.S. Embassy at +(229) 21-30-75-00. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

See our webpage on help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

Those who witness or are victimized by police fraud and/or corruption can call the “Green Line” of the Beninese Police at 166 to report what they have experienced.

The U.S. Embassy can:

• Help you find appropriate medical care.
• Assist you in reporting a crime to the police.
• Contact relatives or friends with your written consent.
• Provide general information regarding the victim’s role during the local investigation and following its conclusion.
• Provide a list of local attorneys.
• Provide our information on victim’s compensation programs in the United States.
• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution.
• Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home. 
• Replace a stolen or lost passport.

Domestic Violence:  U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance.

Tourism : The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities do not commonly occur. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified either by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is limited. First responders are generally unable to access areas outside of major cities and to provide urgent medical treatment. Depending on the nature of an injury or illness, appropriate medical treatment may not be available in Benin. U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance .

Beach Safety : Swimming conditions along Benin’s coastline are dangerous due to strong tides, waves, and rip currents, and several people drown each year. Some private beaches offer increased protection, such as sea walls.  Always learn about the water conditions at any beach before attempting to swim.

Maritime Security : Piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea continue to trend upwards. Pirates/armed groups operating in the region typically carry out attacks on vessels using automatic weapons. Attacks, kidnappings for ransom, and robbery of crew, passengers, and ship’s property continue to be common occurrences.

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties:  You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities prior to practicing or operating a business.

U.S. citizens have been arrested and imprisoned for failing to pay debts.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice’s website .

Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.

Faith-Based Travelers:  See the following webpages for details:

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
• Human Rights Report – see country reports
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTQI+ Travelers: There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations; however, LGBTQI+ lifestyle and rights are not widely accepted and confined to urban centers. LGBTQI+ travelers may face discrimination in both private and public forms. The organization of private LGBTQI+ events in Benin has no legal restrictions. However, public events of any nature require prior governmental approval.

See our LGBTQI+ Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights report for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance : Most buildings, businesses, government offices, and medical facilities do not provide special features accommodation for persons with mobility issues. Public transportation catering to those with mobility issues is almost non-existent. Many roads are unpaved and lack usable sidewalks.

Students:  See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:  See our travel tips for Women Travelers .

For emergency services in Benin, dial 116 .

Ambulance services are: 

• Not widely available, and training and availability of emergency responders may be below U.S. standards.
• Not equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment. 
• Not staffed with trained paramedics and often have little or no medical equipment. 
• Injured or seriously ill travelers may prefer to take a taxi or private vehicle to the nearest major hospital rather than wait for an ambulance. 

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance:  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See  our webpage  for more information on overseas insurance. Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on types of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the Ministry of the Interior of the Government of Benin .

Vaccinations:  Be up-to-date on all  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further health information:

• World Health Organization
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC) 

Air Quality:  Visit  AirNow Department of State  for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates. 

The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of doctors and hospitals . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

Health Facilities in General :

• Adequate health facilities are not available throughout the country, and health care may be below U.S. standards.
• Public medical clinics lack basic resources and supplies. 
• Hospitals and doctors often require payment “up front” prior to service or admission.
• Most hospitals and medical professionals require cash payment.
• Private hospitals usually require advance payment or proof of adequate insurance before admitting a patient. 
• Travelers should make efforts to obtain complete information on billing, pricing, and proposed medical procedures before agreeing to any medical care. 
• Medical staff may speak little or no English.
• Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals.
• Psychological and psychiatric services are limited, even in the larger cities, with hospital-based care only available through government institutions.

Pharmaceuticals :

• Exercise caution when purchasing medication overseas. Pharmaceuticals, both over the counter and requiring prescription in the United States, are often readily available for purchase with few controls. Counterfeit medication is common, and may prove to be ineffective, the wrong strength, or contain dangerous ingredients. Medication should be purchased in consultation with a medical professional and from reputable establishments. 
• U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Food and Drug Administration are responsible for rules governing the transport of medication back to the United States. Medication purchased abroad must meet their requirements to be legally brought back into the United States. Medication should be for personal use and must be approved for usage in the United States. Please visit the  U.S. Customs and Border Protection  and the  Food and Drug Administration  websites for more information.    

Water Quality:  In many areas, tap water is not potable. Bottled water and beverages are generally safe, although you should be aware that many restaurants and hotels serve tap water unless bottled water is specifically requested. Be aware that ice for drinks may be made using tap water.

Adventure Travel:  Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about Adventure Travel .

General Health: The following diseases and illnesses are prevalent:

• Yellow Fever
• Chikungunya
• Lassa Fever
• Diarrheal illnesses are very common. You should follow food safety precautions.
• Use the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended mosquito repellents, and sleep under insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets. Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for all travelers even for short stays.
• Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about Resources for Travelers regarding specific issues in Benin.

• People over 65 years of age;
• People with lung disease such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema;
• People with heart disease or diabetes.
• People who work or are active outdoors.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:   Motorbikes and motorcycles are extremely prevalent on the roads in Benin and will unexpectedly appear or switch lanes. Traffic signals are rare and may not be operational or followed. Pedestrians, non-motorized carts, broken-down vehicles, and debris are often present in even the busiest of roads.

Roads in Benin are generally in poor condition. During the rainy season (from mid-June to mid-September), dirt roads become impassable. Four-wheel drive vehicles with full spare tires and emergency equipment are recommended.

Gasoline smuggled from Nigeria is widely available in glass bottles and jugs at informal roadside stands throughout Cotonou and much of the country. This gasoline is of unreliable quality, as it often contains water or other contaminants that can damage or disable your vehicle. Drivers should purchase fuel only from official service stations. There are periodic gas shortages, especially in the north of the country where there are fewer service stations.

The U.S. Embassy prohibits travel by diplomatic personnel outside of metropolitan areas after dusk and urges all U.S. citizens to avoid night driving due to road safety and crime concerns.

Traffic Laws:  Traffic moves on the right. In traffic circles, vehicles inside the circle must yield to those entering. Many drivers do not follow traffic laws.

When stopped by the police, you must have all of your vehicle’s documentation available to present to the authorities.

Public Transportation: Cotonou has a limited public transportation system. Many Beninese people rely on bicycles, mopeds, and motorbikes for hire (known as “zemidjans”). Travelers using zemidjans, particularly at night, are much more vulnerable to being mugged, assaulted, or robbed. Buses and private taxis offer service in the interior. U.S. Embassy personnel are required to wear safety helmets when on a motorcycle and are prohibited from using zemidjans.

See our Road Safety page for more information. 

Aviation Safety Oversight: As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Benin, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the government of Benin’s Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the FAA’s safety assessment page .

Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Benin should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts .  Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the NGA broadcast warnings .

Benin Travel Requirements

Benin travel requirements

If you’re planning a trip to Benin, it’s important to know the travel requirements before you go. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you prepare for your journey:

COVID-19 Requirements

• Visa Requirements
• Health Insurance

Culture and Etiquette

Proof of COVID vaccination or a negative PCR test is no longer required for all travellers to enter Benin. 

Visa requirements

Passport validity.

If you are a resident in Benin, your passport must be valid for 6 months from the date you arrive.

Check with your travel provider to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements.

Most foreign passport holders need a tourist or business visa to enter Benin. Benin has introduced an ‘e-visas’ system through which applications can be submitted and approved online in advance of travel. 

Visa-Exempt Countries:

Stay without a visa 90 days

Stay without a visa 14 Days

Health insurance

When planning your trip to Benin, one of your top priorities should be safeguarding your health and safety. Securing comprehensive health insurance that covers potential medical expenses while abroad is an absolute must. While Benin has made strides in healthcare, it’s crucial to be prepared for any unexpected medical situations.

Healthcare facilities in Benin vary in quality, and medical costs, particularly for foreign visitors, can be substantial. Reliable health insurance ensures you have access to necessary medical services without the worry of overwhelming expenses.

In case of illness, accidents, or any medical emergencies, having valid health insurance offers peace of mind and ensures you can receive appropriate medical care without financial strain. Comprehensive coverage also includes medical evacuation, which may be necessary for severe cases requiring specialized treatment available in neighboring countries.

Benin’s diverse landscapes and the allure of adventurous activities bring certain inherent risks. It’s always wise to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. With comprehensive health insurance, you can confidently explore Benin’s natural wonders, partake in exciting adventures, and immerse yourself in its vibrant culture, knowing you’re well-protected in case of any health-related incidents.

Never underestimate the significance of health insurance when traveling to Benin. Prioritize your well-being by securing a reliable insurance policy covering medical expenses, emergency treatments, and potential medical evacuations. With comprehensive health insurance, you can focus on enjoying your journey, secure in the knowledge that you’re prepared for any unexpected medical situations. Your adventure in Benin begins with peace of mind.

Benin’s official currency is the West African CFA Franc (XOF). When preparing for your trip to Benin, it’s a good idea to have some local currency on hand for daily expenses and transactions, as the West African CFA Franc is widely accepted throughout the country.

Exchanging foreign currency into West African CFA Francs is relatively straightforward, and you can do so at banks, authorized Forex bureaus, and some hotels in major cities and towns. To ensure fair rates and avoid counterfeit notes, it is recommended to exchange your currency at official establishments.

While the West African CFA Franc is the primary currency, US Dollars may also be accepted in certain situations, particularly in larger hotels, tourist areas, and for major transactions. To facilitate this, carry small denomination US Dollar bills, preferably in good condition, as larger bills may not always be accepted or may receive a less favorable exchange rate.

Credit cards with Visa or Mastercard logos are generally accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and major businesses in urban areas. However, keep in mind that smaller establishments, local markets, and rural regions may operate primarily on a cash-only basis. For this reason, it is advisable to have some local currency for everyday expenses, especially when exploring more remote areas.

ATMs are widely available in major cities and towns across Benin, allowing you to withdraw West African CFA Francs as needed. To ensure smooth access to your funds, inform your bank in advance about your travel plans to ensure that your cards are authorized for use in Benin. Additionally, it’s prudent to carry a backup payment method, such as cash or a second card, in case of any issues with ATMs or card acceptance. Your trip to Benin will be more enjoyable with the convenience of local currency readily available for your expenses.

Benin is a culturally diverse country with a rich heritage, and it’s essential to show respect and appreciation for local customs and traditions during your visit. Beninese people are generally warm and welcoming, and demonstrating an interest in their culture will be highly appreciated.

When interacting with locals, it is customary to greet them with a handshake and to use appropriate titles such as Mr., Mrs., or Doctor when addressing someone. Politeness and respectful language are expected in conversations, and making an effort to learn a few basic phrases in the local languages, such as greetings and simple expressions, can help build positive connections.

Modest clothing is generally recommended, especially when visiting rural areas or religious sites. Both men and women should avoid wearing revealing clothing and should opt for attire that covers the shoulders and knees as a sign of respect for local customs and traditions.

Public displays of affection should be kept discreet, as they may not align with local societal norms. It’s essential to be culturally sensitive and mindful of local expectations regarding personal interactions.

When visiting someone’s home or a local community, it is customary to remove your shoes before entering as a sign of respect. It’s also common to be offered food and drink during visits, and accepting these offers is a polite way to show appreciation for local hospitality.

Benin is renowned for its flavorful cuisine, and trying traditional dishes is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the local culture. When dining, it is customary to eat with your right hand, as many Beninese people traditionally dine this way. However, it’s also acceptable to use utensils if you prefer. Embracing these cultural customs will enrich your experience in Benin and help foster positive connections with the local community.

All About Benin Visas

If you’re planning to travel to Benin, you may be required to obtain a visa before you enter. Fortunately, Benin’s immigration department allows all visitors to apply for an Electronic Visa (e-Visa) online, saving you time from needing to travel to a consulate or embassy.

Are you a citizen of an African nation? If so, you may visit Benin visa-free for up to 90 days. Hong Kong citizens can also enter without a visa for 14 days. Everyone else — including nationals from the US, the UK, Australia and India  —  must apply for a visa, and this can be done online with Byevisa.

It’s quick and easy to get your Benin eVisa by simply filling out our application form and paying the fees. We process your travel document in 1 to 5 business days and when it’s ready, we send it straight to your email inbox.

This small West African country offers 3 visa options:

What Distinguishes an e-Visa Versus a Benin Visa on Arrival (VoA)?

An eVisa is an electronic travel document that you apply for ahead of your trip using any internet-connected device. You receive your approved authorisation by email, print it out and present it at the border control. Applying online is the most efficient way to get your travel document, and eliminates the need to fill out paperwork by hand.

By contrast, a Visa on Arrival (VoA) is an authorisation that you apply for when you land in some countries by filling out the application documents in the airport. However, Benin does not offer the option of obtaining a VoA, so all visitors must apply for an eVisa in advance.

Benin Visa Requirements and Eligibility

Citizens of all countries are eligible to apply for an eVisa for Benin. However, you don’t need to apply if you are a national of any African country. Also, if you’re from Hong Kong, you can stay visa-free for 14 days. To confirm whether your nationality requires a visa, select your nationality from our eligibility-checker tool here:

The only document you need to present with your application is a scan of your passport’s bio information page. Be sure to double-check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date in Benin and that it has 1 blank page available.

You can choose either a Single or a Multiple-Entry visa, according to your travel plans. For example, you may want to travel into surrounding countries like Nigeria, Togo or Ghana while exploring the coast of West Africa before returning to Benin; in this case, a Multiple Entry eVisa would be your best option.

Tourists also have the flexibility of choosing to stay for up to 30 or 90 days, and your e-Visa will be valid during that 30 or 90-day timeframe.

You aren’t required to upload a confirmation of your return ticket or a bank statement, but you will be asked to provide your return trip details in your application, as well as a description of how you will support yourself financially during your stay.

Yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling to Benin from a country at risk of this disease. See the list of countries that require vaccination on the World Health Organisation’s website.

Benin Visa Application Process

Follow the steps below to get your eVisa to travel to the nation that’s the birthplace of the Voodoo religion.

• Using a bank card or PayPal, you make one easy payment which includes Byevisa’s processing fee as well as the government’s fee of 60 USD, 85 USD or 115 USD, depending on the visa type you choose.
