    United States ordinary passport: Sierra Leone pre-travel visitor visa

    Current State Department guidance requires an ordinary U.S.-passport visitor to obtain a Sierra Leone visa before travel.

    • The visa is required regardless of the length of stay and must be applied for before travel.
    • The separately paid airport-security fee is not a visa or an arrival-issuance route.
