This is an explicit complete advance-visa default, not inference from application availability.","status":"visa_required","conditions":["Category B still requires a visa but has optional Interior consultation. Category C requires an authorisation of entry issued after application to the Ministry of the Interior; passports absent from all lists are expressly subject to the same Category C conditions.","The consular authority says the visa is issued by Senegalese diplomatic or consular authorities. This supports visa_required rather than evisa, visa_on_arrival or ETA; no current official source reviewed establishes a nationality-wide electronic or airport-issuance visitor alternative for this residual cohort.","Required materials vary by category but include passport validity of at least six months, visa form, photos, return/onward or repatriation evidence, accommodation and health documentation. Category C applicants are advised to apply two months in advance.","The current Foreign Ministry overview, retained from the 2015 regime, lists a materially broader visa-free cohort (including many European and other passports) than the detailed Category A/B/C page. The latter is used because it contains the post-2025 AES treatment and explicit Category C default; the conflict is a material review risk.","Work, residence, study, transit, refugee, diplomatic, official, service and official-mission exceptions are excluded. Issuance and entry remain subject to individual security, health and immigration assessment."],"sourceIds":["senegal-paris-consulate-current-visa-categories","senegal-foreign-ministry-2015-visa-summary","senegal-miae-2026-vaccination-entry-update"]}],"conditional":[],"sources":[{"id":"senegal-paris-consulate-current-visa-categories","title":"Senegal Consulate General in Paris: visa application and Categories A, B and C","url":"https://consulsen-paris.gouv.sn/demande-de-visa/","publisher":"Consulate General of Senegal in Paris","jurisdiction":"Senegal","kind":"government-guidance","language":"French","reviewedAt":"2026-08-21"},{"id":"senegal-foreign-ministry-2015-visa-summary","title":"Ministry of African Integration and Foreign Affairs: visa request","url":"https://www.diplomatie.gouv.sn/demande-de-visa","publisher":"Ministry of African Integration and Foreign Affairs of Senegal","jurisdiction":"Senegal","kind":"government-guidance","language":"French","reviewedAt":"2026-08-21"},{"id":"senegal-miae-2026-vaccination-entry-update","title":"Senegal entry: update to international vaccination-certificate conditions","url":"https://diplomatie.gouv.sn/node/278","publisher":"Ministry of African Integration, Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad","jurisdiction":"Senegal","kind":"government-guidance","language":"French","reviewedAt":"2026-08-21"}]}
