Visa Requirements
The Gambia has reciprocal arrangements with many countries, either
on bilateral agreements or through membership of certain
organizations, whereby citizens of those countries do not require a
visa for a period of stay of less than three months. These include
the member countries of ECOWAS, all Commonwealth countries, Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
Nationals of other countries should apply for a visa to a Gambian
diplomatic mission or consulate abroad. A visa can also be obtained
from British consular offices in countries where there is no Gambian
diplomatic or consular representation.
However, tourists and others travelling on last minute bookings will
be allowed entry but will be required to submit their passport to
the Department of Immigration in Banjul within 48 hours to be issued
a proper visa.
Below are the contact details for the various diplomats or consular
representations.
