VISA

The visa situation evolved at the end of 2017. It is likely that soon, you will be able again to get your visa at the land and air borders of Benin. In the meantime, you must contact the nearest embassy or consulate, as the visa remains essential to enter Benin. For those wishing to visit neighboring countries, do not forget to ask for a multiple entry visa !

 

VACCINE

Yellow fever vaccine (yellow immunization record) is requested at the border. This vaccination is valid for 10 years.
