Gabon Visa FAQs

When is the best time to apply for my Gabon visa?
The best time to apply for your Gabon visa is 1-2 months before your travel date.

Do I have to send you my passport to get a Gabon visa? Is it safe to send a passport?
Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Gabon visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages.
