Benin E-Visa Policy

Nationality is really the deciding factor here — it shapes everything else under the Benin E-Visa Policy. A few pointers worth knowing:

  • Eligible passports can apply online for single or multiple entries, covering tourism, business, family visits, and transit.
  • Some nationalities enter visa-free instead, with stays running up to 90 days depending on origin.
  • Everyone, regardless of route, needs a passport with sufficient blank pages.
  • Proof on arrival onward travel, accommodation, or sufficient funds — may still be requested.
  • Printed copies of the approved e-visa are worth carrying in case digital access fails.
  • Extensions require sign-off from Benin's immigration authorities before your stay runs out.
  • Employment isn't permitted under either visa-free entry or the e-visa.
