    German, Dutch and British ordinary passports: Gabon arrival sticker after electronic preapproval

    DGDI requires these non-exempt ordinary-passport visitors to obtain online travel authorisation before flying, then takes payment and delivers the visa sticker at Libreville airport; the normalized route is visa on arrival.

    • The live DGDI catalogue contains country records for Germany, the Netherlands and ‘United Kingdom British Citizen’, plus a distinct Ordinary Passport document type; it does not list ordinary passports for those records among the named exemptions.
    • A Travel Authorization Receipt is required before departure, but payment and physical visa-sticker delivery occur on arrival; this is not a pre-travel electronically issued visa.
    • The current Government notice limits the route to air travel through Libreville Léon-Mba International Airport. Work, residence, transit, crew, special documents and final admission remain outside this baseline.
    • The DGDI server currently omits a trusted TLS issuer chain. The central Government directly authenticates the service, but the rule must be refreshed when the normal chain is restored.
