American travelers, Burkina Faso now requires you to apply for a visa online or obtain one from their embassy in Washington DC before entering the country. To apply online, you’ll need a valid passport, passport-size photos, proof of accommodation, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. The eVisa typically allows a single entry for up to 90 days and is valid for three months from the date of issue.
You can apply through the official eVisa portal, and the process involves:
– Filling out the online application form
– Uploading required documents
– Paying the visa fee online
The visa fee varies depending on nationality and visa type, generally ranging from $20 to $100. It’s recommended to apply at least two weeks in advance to account for processing time.
Also, note that the U.S. government advises against traveling to Burkina Faso due to terrorism, crime, and kidnapping risks.
