Travel & Tourist Visa Options for Visiting Benin

Benin offers multiple entry options for travelers interested in exploring its cultural heritage, wildlife, and vibrant coastal cities. Many nationalities can apply for an e-Visa online, which simplifies the process and allows tourists to receive authorization before arrival without visiting an embassy.

For visitors planning a short leisure trip, the Tourist e-Visa typically allows stays of 30 to 90 days, depending on the selected validity period. Applicants usually need a valid passport, proof of travel or accommodation, and a payment method for the online application fee.

Those who wish to stay longer or travel for purposes beyond tourism—such as study, work, or family reasons—can apply for extended visas or residence permits through Benin’s immigration authorities. These options provide flexibility for travelers who want more time to experience the country’s culture and lifestyle.

Most travellers to Benin need a visa before arrival — either an e-Visa or a visa issued by a Benin diplomatic mission. However, citizens of many African-Union member states and a few other countries enjoy visa-free entry for short stays.

Yes — Benin offers an e-Visa that eligible travellers can apply for online before travel. Depending on the visa type, the stay allowed can be 30 days (single or multiple entry) or — in some cases — up to 90 days (multiple entry visa).
