W Africa visa schedule: rough plan (2019)

Below is the visa info I compiled before leaving on the trip. We are 1 German lady and 1 Irish gent. Mostly the info is appropriate for Europeans generally.

I will report on the progress when we reach Africa and begin to put it to the test (Early Oct '19).

This information comes from a number of sources.

1) Some of it I compiled by emailing embassies.
2) Some comes from a discussion forum on Horizons Unlimited with several contributors
3) Some from individual bloggers
4) And always there's the wonderful Chloe Grant! (Aka, CREER in some forums - see the West Africa Travellers FB group that she founded.)

Bear in mind that even now some of this information will be changing - the situation in W Africa is volatile.

Also, Chloe*, re obtaining Cote d'Ivoire visa says; 'Cote d'Ivoire, NOT IN DAKAR! Anywhere but Dakar! And apply online https://snedai.com/visaenambassade/ '

Matt Richards* says; 'Cotonou are not issuing Nigerian visas, I was at the embassy there this morning. You'll be referred to the visa on arrival scheme instead.'

*On West Africa Travellers FB

My approach has been to find out as much as I can prior to going and then I will check as I travel - and post here as I find.


(Below, I list the country for which the visa is required and then the city where the visa can be obtained - with accompanying info. Remember, this is for guidance only and you should double check everything!)
