## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — French ordinary passports: Sierra Leone arrival visitor visa** (Visa on arrival)
  Current French government guidance says French nationals remain able to obtain a visa on arrival at Freetown airport while Sierra Leone's online visa system is not yet fully operational.
  - The stated ordinary French-passport route is border issuance at Freetown airport. It is not classified as an eVisa merely because the guidance also directs short-stay applicants to an online immigration site before departure.
  - The source describes an operationally incomplete online system; confirm live carrier and airport arrangements before travel. Residence, work, transit, special passports and final admission remain separate.
