Last updated: 14 September 2026. This is an independent guide for UK travellers. Always verify details on the Guinea DCPAF portal at paf.gov.gn.
To access your Guinea eVisa login, go to the government portal at paf.gov.gn/visa/EditInfo/LoginEditVisa and enter the Application ID and Password sent to your email after your first submission. Complete the Captcha and click Login to manage your application. The system, formally titled ETA Electronic Travel Authorisation of GUINEA, runs version v1.7.8.3 with a French-language interface and no English option.
Accessing the Guinea eVisa Portal and Creating Your Account
The Guinea eVisa login page is at paf.gov.gn/visa/EditInfo/LoginEditVisa. The portal recommends 1024×768 resolution and supports Internet Explorer 9.0+. It displays a 2019 copyright notice but remains actively maintained by DCPAF (Direction Centrale de la Police Aux Frontières) under the Ministry of Security and Civil Protection. We accessed the portal on 2 March 2026 and confirmed the v1.7.8.3 footer was active, indicating ongoing maintenance despite the 2019 copyright.
Warning: avoid lookalike portals for other sovereign states: (Equatorial Guinea) and evisa.ica.gov.pg (Papua New Guinea). The correct Guinea eVisa portal is exclusively for the Republic of Guinea (Conakry).
No pre-registration is required; your Guinea eVisa account is created on first application submission.

The Guinea eVisa portal accepts Visa and Mastercard in USD. UK travellers should notify their bank of the transaction to avoid blocks on payments to Guinea; GBP will be converted at your bank’s rate. After approval, download the Entry Visa Letter from the dashboard and present it at the Visa on-arrival counter, where fingerprint biometric capture is required.
Guinea eVisa Login Troubleshooting and Credential Recovery
No automated password reset exists on the Guinea eVisa portal. Check spam and junk folders for the original email containing your Application ID and Password. Search your inbox for “Application ID” or “paf.gov.gn”. If no email arrives within 48 hours of submission, contact DCPAF through the portal’s Contact Us link. Prepare your date of birth, email address used during application, and passport number before reaching out.
A user we assisted lost their Application ID; after checking spam and contacting DCPAF via the portal’s Contact Us link with their passport number and date of birth, they received a reply within 2 business days with the credentials.
The Guinea eVisa portal supports IE 9.0+ and 1024×768 resolution; modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) generally work but may display minor layout warnings. The portal is not mobile-optimised; desktop recommended. French error messages include “Session expirée” (session expired) and “Erreur de connexion” (connection error). The portal requires Application ID and Password for all status checks; no passport-number-only lookup exists on the system.
