Guinea-Bissau: current ECOWAS Member-State citizens’ visa-free entry
The ECOWAS free-movement protocol gives Community citizens from the eleven other current ECOWAS Member States visa-free entry to Guinea-Bissau for a visit not exceeding 90 days.
- Applies to a citizen of the named current ECOWAS Member State carrying a valid travel document issued by or on behalf of that Member State; passport code alone does not decide nationality, other travel-document categories, or dual-national document choice.
- The ECOWAS Member States page retains a legacy sentence describing fifteen members, but its current named schedule and footer identify twelve. The explicit named current schedule governs this policy; Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are handled only by the separate transition policy.
- Entry must be through an official entry point with a valid travel document and international health certificate. A stay beyond 90 days requires permission from the appropriate authority.
- Guinea-Bissau retains the protocol’s power to refuse admission to a Community citizen categorized as an inadmissible immigrant under its laws.
- Residence, establishment, work, commercial activity, family, refugee, diplomatic, official, service, special-document, security and individual admissibility rules are not normalized by this short-visitor policy.
