BENIN EVISA: More information

Most of the countries require foreign travellers to have a valid visa or a travel authorization. This is true also for Benin which requires a Benin eVisa. You can choose from 3 types: a 90-day multi-entry visa, a 30-day single entry visa or a 30-day multi-entry visa. All of them are online visas and allow tourist or business visits only.

Please note that every government reserves the right to deny entry into the country despite having an approved visa. Each traveler will be processed individually upon their arrival by an immigration officer at the airport, port or border. However, most denials are due to the fact the person poses a threat to security or national interests.
