How get Equatorial Guinea Tourist VISA.

  

Entry visa: required, to be requested at the Embassy of Equatorial Guinea in Rome (Via Bruxelles, 59 - 00198 Rome - tel. 06/8555428. It is open from Monday to Friday from 10.00 to 14.00.

 

Keep in mind that the kind and efficient employee of the Embassy always answers the phone.

 

Keep in mind that the Equatorial Guinea Embassy in Rome issues tourist visas in about 10 working days by presenting the following documentation, presenting yourself personally at the Embassy (Agencies are not allowed)

 

1. Passport;

2. The last 3 payslips;

3. Employment contract;

4. Two passport photos;

5. General Certificate of the Criminal Records;

6. Certificate of Pending Loads;

7. Flight Booking;

8. Hotel booking through Booking;

9. Completed and signed form;

10. Original and copy of the yellow fever certificate;

11. Copy of Identity Card;

12. Copy of the passport;

13. One hundred Euros to be paid by bank transfer when you are in Rome. (Since I don't have a bank in Rome, I gave the 100 Euro plus a 3 Euro commission to the kind employee who made the bank transfer for me)

 

Keep in mind that if you have a serious motivation, you can obtain the visa in just about 2 hours, paying 50 Euros more for the urgency (150 Euros instead of 100 Euros). My motivation was that living in the Province of Brescia it was quite burdensome for me to return to Rome a second time to get a Visa.

 

Please note that the aforementioned visa is valid for 60 days from the date of issue of the Equatorial Guinea Embassy in Rome and allows you to stay in the country for 30 days.

 

Keep in mind that the Equatorial Guinea Visa can also be obtained at the Embassy of Libreville in Gabon, in the day, but there the certainty is not guaranteed and also as described on the Lonely Planet Forum, there is no fixed rate on the amount to pay to get it but it depends a little on your bargaining spirit. There are also those who have also paid 600 USD.
