Guinea-Bissau
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A valid passport, visa,
and proof of onward/return ticket are required. As of January 2007, the
Bissau-Guinean Embassy in Washington, D.C. is temporarily closed. The
Embassy of Guinea-Bissau does not have a website. Due to lack of consular
representation in the U.S., it is difficult to obtain the required visa for
entry into Guinea-Bissau. Since most flights destined for Guinea-Bissau
must pass through Dakar, Senegal or Lisbon, Portugal, most travelers are
able to apply for visas at the Bissau-Guinean embassies in those countries.
Although it is possible to obtain a visa upon arrival in Bissau if
arrangements are made in advance, there are no clear instructions for how to
make those arrangements.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: While modern
medical facilities are virtually nonexistent in Guinea-Bissau and travelers
should not rely on them, emergency medical care may be possible at a new
hospital in Bissau operated by the Sant’Egidio Community. Monday to
Saturday there are flights from Bissau to Dakar, Senegal, where more
acceptable levels of medical care are available. Malaria, a serious and
sometimes fatal disease, is a risk for travelers to Guinea-Bissau.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
The U.S. Embassy in Guinea-Bissau remains closed. U.S. citizens who plan
to enter Guinea-Bissau are encouraged to register with the Consular Section
of the U.S. Embassy at Avenue Jean XXIII, Dakar, Senegal. The mailing
address is B.P. 49, Dakar, Senegal. The telephone number is (221) 823-4296
and the fax is (221) 822-2991. The e-mail address is
consulardakar@state.gov. The
web site is
