The live National Tourist Board repeats that visitors do not need a pre-travel visa application, while the Finance Act defines the visa as issued at an airport or border crossing. Every passport in this exact residual is non-ECOWAS and therefore has the direct border-issued visitor route.","status":"visa_on_arrival","conditions":["Use a valid ordinary passport with at least six months remaining for tourism or the stated potential-investor visitor purpose. The Embassy describes a stay not exceeding 30 days.","The Finance Act defines visa on arrival at an international airport or border crossing. The current Tourist Board says the policy operates for air, land and sea travel; port operation, carrier acceptance and individual admission still require current checks.","The Immigration Officer at the port of entry retains discretion to grant or deny admission. Health, security, accommodation, itinerary and sufficient-funds requirements remain separate.","ECOWAS ordinary passports are outside this policy and retain their separately documented visa-free treatment. Diplomatic, official and special documents, work, residence, study, transit and other purposes are not normalized here.","A separate electronic application is available for non-ECOWAS passports, but the official consular page independently permits direct visa-on-arrival access. The available border-issued route controls this single-status baseline.","Separately reviewed passport-specific statuses outside this exact residual cohort are not replaced by this policy; their more specific current evidence remains controlling.","The Embassy visa text has older page metadata but remains actively served within the current official 2026 site and is corroborated by the live 2026 Tourist Board visitor guidance; recheck if either authority publishes a replacement nationality schedule."],"sourceIds":["sierra-leone-kuwait-embassy-current-tourist-voa-2026","sierra-leone-ntb-current-visitor-voa-2026","sierra-leone-finance-act-2020-arrival-issuance","sierra-leone-slid-current-official-evisa-link-2026","sierra-leone-immigration-current-evisa-terms-2026"]}],"conditional":[],"sources":[{"id":"sierra-leone-kuwait-embassy-current-tourist-voa-2026","title":"Embassy of Sierra Leone in Kuwait: current tourist visa-on-arrival guidance","url":"https://kw.slembassy.gov.sl/visas/","publisher":"Embassy of the Republic of Sierra Leone in the State of Kuwait","jurisdiction":"Sierra Leone","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-25"},{"id":"sierra-leone-ntb-current-visitor-voa-2026","title":"Sierra Leone National Tourist Board: current visa-on-arrival visitor guidance","url":"https://ntb.gov.sl/","publisher":"Sierra Leone National Tourist Board","jurisdiction":"Sierra Leone","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-25"},{"id":"sierra-leone-finance-act-2020-arrival-issuance","title":"Finance Act 2020: statutory visa-on-arrival issuance point","url":"https://mof.gov.sl/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/The-Finance-Act-2020.pdf","publisher":"Government of Sierra Leone / Ministry of Finance","jurisdiction":"Sierra Leone","kind":"law","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-25"},{"id":"sierra-leone-slid-current-official-evisa-link-2026","title":"Sierra Leone Immigration Department: current official eVisa service link","url":"https://slid.gov.sl/","publisher":"Sierra Leone Immigration Department","jurisdiction":"Sierra Leone","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-25"},{"id":"sierra-leone-immigration-current-evisa-terms-2026","title":"Sierra Leone Immigration eVisa: current live terms and frontend guidance","url":"https://www.evisa.sl/app/translates/en.js","publisher":"Ministry of Internal Affairs / Sierra Leone Immigration eVisa service","jurisdiction":"Sierra Leone","kind":"official-portal","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-25"}]}
