Gabon Visa Requirement
For a successful Gabon eVisa application, submitting the required documents is crucial. The online eVisa application requires only digital scans, and each eVisa type shares the same set of documents. Understand each requirement for a better submission.
Passport Biopage Scan
Requirements:
- In colour and high quality.
- All details easy to read, including the MRZ.
- Full page shown, with all corners visible
- The image should be straight and not blurry or grainy
- Nothing covering the page (no fingers, shadows, or watermarks)
Applicant Photo
Requirements:
- In colour, recent, and with a plain white background.
- Ensure the face is centred, with space above the head.
- Taken facing the camera, with shoulders and ears visible.
- With a neutral expression, no spectacles, headgear, or cropped images.
- Can I submit a screenshot of the passport bio page?
No. Screenshots are not accepted; upload a clear, full-page scan.
Passport Validity Requirement
The passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Gabon and have 2 blank pages for entry/exit stamps. Applications with an expired or near-expiring passport will not be accepted.
- Can I apply for the visa first and renew my passport later?
No. Apply only after renewing your passport, as the visa is linked to your passport number.
How to Submit the Required Documents
All the documents are submitted online; no hard copy or any embassy visit is required. To submit the documents, applicants are required to complete the following steps:
Step 1: Gather Documents
Make sure each document is scanned properly for submission.
Step 2: Upload Documents
Fill out the eVisa application form, upload all the required documents and pay the fee.
Step 3: Receive Approved eVisa
The approved Gabon eVisa will be delivered via email.
- Can I send my documents by email instead of uploading them during the application?
Yes, applicants can submit documents via email to visa support, but it’s best to upload documents during the application to avoid delays.
- Will any additional documents be required besides a passport and a photo?
No, only a valid passport and a recent digital photo are required. If any additional documents are needed, the visa support team will contact the applicant.
