  • If you’re traveling for tourism: A confirmation of your hotel reservation, itinerary from a tour guide company, and flight details.

Costs and processing time of the Gabon Visa

We divide the processing into two parts:

  • Government processing: Processing by the government can take between 3 and 5 business days after you’ve submitted your application. However, we advise applying as soon as possible, considering that the government's appointment availability is unpredictable.

Check the total costs and processing time estimate for your nationality by starting the application here.
