Visas for Benin

Visas for Benin are fairly straightforward, and travellers can either apply for a 30 day or 30 day visa depending on their travel needs.

Visas for Benin require that applicants send copies of all documents from ID, passport, green card to a letter of invitation from a Benin company or organisation to state your reason for visiting.

Visa costs are fairly low, with 30 day visas ranging from single entry to multiple entry at $40-$45, and 90 day visas for single or multiple entry at $45-$50.

If travelling as a single parent with a child, you will need to provide proof of parent status, such as birth certificate or similar, so bring a certified copy of these documents when travelling to Benin.

Visas are required for all travellers except for nationals of Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden, who do not require a visa for visits up to 90 days.
