Visas for Burkina Faso

Visas for Burkina Faso are fairly simple to arrange, and are much  the same as visas for any country within West Africa, with somewhat better border control.

Applicants need to submit a valid passport as well as ID or green card, plus copies of travel documents including return airline tickets, and an itinerary or confirmation from travel or tourism agent stating travel plans within the country.

Visas cost about $100.00 for a 6 months Multiple Entry visa, and $150.00 for 1 year Multiple Entry visa, and take between 4 and 5 days to process.

Burkina Faso visas are usually valid for 6 months to a year from the date of issue, for a stay of up to 90 days.

Tourism agents such as OverlandingAfrica.com are able to assist with visa requirements, taking the fuss out of planning your visa for Burkina Faso travel adventures and leaving you free to enjoy planning your holiday instead.
