Conflicting visa-free access information
According to Timatic, nationals of Mauritania do not require a visa for Guinea.[1] This information, however, is not supported by the official website of the Central Directorate of the Border Police (DCPAF) of the Ministry of Security and Civil Protection of Guinea.[2]
According to Timatic, nationals of China holding ordinary passports endorsed "for public affairs" do not require a visa for a maximum stay of 30 days.[1]
Non-ordinary passports
Additionally, holders of diplomatic or service passports issued to nationals of China, Romania, Russia, South Africa[6] and Zimbabwe do not require a visa for a maximum stay of 90 days. Holders of diplomatic passports of Turkey do not require a visa for a stay of up to 90 days.
Visa on arrival (Disputed)
Nationals of the United Arab Emirates can obtain a visa on arrival for a stay up to 90 days according to IATA.[7] This information, however, is not supported by the official website of the Central Directorate of the Border Police (DCPAF) of the Ministry of Security and Civil Protection of Guinea, which states that UAE nationals must obtain an eVisa.[2]
eVisa
Nationals of all other countries/territories (except Palestine and Zambia) that require a visa can obtain an electronic visa.[2] Electronic visas are available for stays up to 90 days. Citizens of Canada and the United States who obtain an eVisa can stay in Guinea for up to 5 years. Hong Kong and Macao citizens are also eligible for the eVisa, according to IATA.[8][9]
