    Benin: ordinary foreign visitor eVisa residual

    Foreign ordinary-passport visitors outside ECOWAS and without an MFA-listed ordinary/national-passport waiver must obtain Benin’s tourist/visit eVisa online before arrival. This exact residual excludes the 39 current waiver rows and Beninese citizenship.

    • DEI states that the tourist/visit eVisa is for family, professional, health or tourist stays not exceeding 90 days; it is renewable for the same duration.
    • DEI states that it is issued to foreign nationals outside ECOWAS or without a Benin visa-exemption agreement, obtained online via evisa.bj, and held before arrival.
    • The three current MFA agreement-register endpoints supply the exact ordinary/national-passport exemption roster excluded from this residual. The API is intermittently slow; its successful 2026-08-21 responses should be independently rechecked before promotion.
    • This does not establish work, study, business, transit, residence, cruise, crew, diplomatic, official, service, refugee, special-document, health, passport-validity, public-order, security, prior-history or final-admission treatment.
