## Official evidence timeline

- **Current official route — African ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic short-entry visa with fee waiver** (eVisa)
  The Council of Ministers’ current Africa-wide fee-waiver decision expressly says the waiver is not a visa exemption. The official Embassy guidance requires online entry-visa applications and emails an eVisa for presentation at the border. This maps the catalog’s foreign ordinary passports of African states to the advance electronic short-visitor route.
  - The 11 September 2025 decision removes visa fees for nationals of African countries but expressly retains the visa requirement. It does not provide a visa-free ordinary-passport cohort, a duration, or a statutory exemption from normal immigration, health, security and admissibility checks.
  - The Embassy says that, since 1 February 2023, entry-visa applications are online; after approval, the applicant receives an email attachment labelled “EVISA” and presents it on arrival. It describes transit visas (1–5 days) and short-stay visas (1–90 days); tourism is within the short-stay visitor purpose and business, work, residence and long stay are not normalized here.
  - The official portal and embassy distinguish ordinary-passport electronic applications from diplomatic, service and UN laissez-passer applications. The latter, refugee, alien, emergency and other special travel documents are outside this policy.
  - A live National Police page says land-border and Ouagadougou-airport short visas may be issued to foreign travellers. Its stated fee is incompatible with the 2025 nationwide African fee waiver and with the newer Visa Burkina fee schedule. That page has no publication or update date and conflicts with the Embassy’s online-only wording, so it is retained as a material operational conflict rather than used to normalize an all-nationality visa_on_arrival route.
  - ECOWAS’s 2025 transitional statement continues visa-free movement for Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger citizens in ECOWAS states until further notice. It does not publish a reciprocal inbound ordinary-passport exemption at Burkina Faso after its withdrawal; the newer Burkina Faso Government decision controls the African visitor cohort modeled here.
  - A valid passport, short-visit supporting documents, a return/onward arrangement, vaccination or health documents, entry-port controls, individual decision/refusal and security checks may be required. Approval is not a guarantee of admission.

- **Current official route — Taiwan ordinary passports: named electronic visitor visas** (eVisa)
  Taiwan MOFA BOCA's current outbound schedule identifies these destinations' electronic-visa routes for Taiwanese passport holders; Ecuador separately confirms pre-departure electronic issuance.
  - EC requires Taiwanese travellers to complete the online electronic-visa application before travel after Ecuador ended the previous visa-free treatment.
  - SY and TR are listed by BOCA for ordinary ROC passports with the stated visitor-purpose electronic-visa routes; each destination's current duration, purpose, documentation and border rules remain controlling.
  - This records electronic issuance, not merely online filing. It excludes work, residence, transit-only facilities, special documents, carrier checks and final-admission decisions.

- **Current official route — French ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic visitor visa** (eVisa)
  Current French government guidance says a valid visa is required before travel and that Burkina Faso entry and stay visas are delivered primarily online through eVisaburkina.
  - This is the ordinary French-passport visitor baseline. A visa must be valid before travel; print and retain the electronically issued visa for presentation on arrival.
  - The separate online fiche voyage is an immigration form, not a visa or ETA. Consular processing, dual Burkinabè nationality, residence, special passports, work, transit, carrier checks and final admission are outside this baseline.

- **Current official route — German ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic visitor visa** (eVisa)
  German ordinary-passport visitors must obtain Burkina Faso's electronically issued short-stay visa before travel.
  - Apply online before travel; the Federal Foreign Office says a visa-on-arrival request is accepted only in urgent exceptional cases and is not reliable for a normal visitor baseline.
  - The official Burkina Faso embassy guidance says approved applicants receive the EVISA document by email and present it at the border.
  - This excludes work, residence, transit, diplomatic or special documents, the separate entry-form QR code, and final admission.

- **Current official route — Dutch ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic visitor visa** (eVisa)
  Netherlands guidance expressly directs a Dutch passport holder who needs a Burkina Faso visa to Visa Burkina, whose official procedure confirms electronic visa issuance.
  - Use an ordinary Dutch passport and complete the electronic application and payment before travel. This is electronic issuance, not the separate travel form or an arrival visa.
  - Embassy, migration-service, residence, work, transit, special-document, carrier and final-admission conditions remain separate.

- **Current official route — Irish ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic short-stay visa** (eVisa)
  Burkina Faso’s current embassy guidance makes its online short-stay process and emailed EVISA document available to any person seeking a short-entry visa.
  - The stated short-stay route covers one to 90 days. Applicants apply online and, if accepted, receive the EVISA document by email for presentation at the border.
  - This excludes long stay, work, residence, transit-specific, diplomatic and special-document routes, and does not guarantee admission.
  Official source:
  - [Embassy of Burkina Faso in Türkiye: Visa](https://turkiye.diplomatie.gov.bf/?services=visa)

- **Current official route — British citizen passports: expressly electronic pre-travel visas or entry permits** (eVisa)
  Current official guidance establishes electronic pre-travel issuance for the listed ordinary British-citizen visitor scopes.
  - BF: UK residents may apply online and Visa Burkina confirms electronic issuance; ML: the fully online process issues the entry permit electronically once approved.
  - SS: FCDO directs British visitors online and the Interior portal supplies the approved eVisa PDF; SY: FCDO links the eVisa service and states a 5-to-7-day decision period.
  - Passport, health, sponsor, invitation, entry-point, purpose and final-admission conditions remain applicable.

- **Current official route — Canadian ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic visitor visa** (eVisa)
  Canada's current Canadian-passport guidance requires a tourist visa and directs the traveller to Visa Burkina; the official portal confirms that the approved electronic visa is emailed before travel.
  - Use a Regular Canadian passport, apply and pay online, then print the emailed eVisa for travel. This is electronic issuance, not a border-issued visa or a standalone online form.
  - Embassy, migration-service, residence, work, transit, special-document, carrier and final-admission conditions remain separate.

- **Current official route — Spanish ordinary passports: Burkina Faso electronic visitor visa** (eVisa)
  MAEC states that Burkina Faso entry and stay visas are issued primarily electronically through the official platform.
  - The eVisa must be printed and presented on arrival; the separate online travel form is not a visa.
  - Border issuance is not an ordinary Spanish-passport route.
