Gabon has introduced an electronic visa system that simplifies entry to this remarkable Central African country. Here is a step-by-step guide to the e-visa and how to combine Gabon with Cameroon.
Gabon, Cameroon's southern neighbour, has introduced an electronic visa system that significantly simplifies entry to this remarkable Central African country. For travellers combining Cameroon with Gabon — whether for the extraordinary wildlife, business, or leisure — the e-visa system is a welcome development that opens up exciting multi-destination itineraries.
What Is the Gabon e-Visa?
An online visa authorisation allowing eligible travellers to apply before arrival without visiting a Gabonese embassy. It is linked electronically to your passport and verified at entry. Available for tourism, business, and transit.
Eligibility and Application
Available to citizens of most countries including the US, UK, and EU members. The application is entirely online — provide personal and passport details, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, a photograph, and pay by credit/debit card. Processing typically takes 48-72 hours. Print or download the approved e-visa.
Required Documents
Valid passport (six months' minimum validity), digital passport photo, proof of accommodation, return or onward ticket, and yellow fever vaccination certificate (required for Gabon entry).
Combining Gabon with Cameroon
Gabon and Cameroon share a border and are natural travel companions. Gabon's extraordinary wildlife — particularly the forest elephants and gorillas of Lopé and Ivindo national parks, and the humpback whales off the coast — complements Cameroon's experiences perfectly. The combination offers travelers two of Central Africa's most biodiverse countries in a single trip. Global Bush Travel arranges combined Cameroon-Gabon itineraries including all visa and documentation requirements.
