Visit Sierra Leone

Travelling to Sierra Leone requires a fair amount of planning and flexibility so we advise arranging as much as possible in advance. Keep in mind that Sierra Leone is still one of the poorest countries in the world, therefore do not expect everything to work. If you are going to be on holiday, it is probably not the place if you always desire the finest things in life. Regardless, Sierra Leoneans will welcome you with open arms and wide smiles.

Visas, insurance, vaccinations, hotels, what to bring - you need answers to all these questions, and we are here to help.

We've made visas easy. Within 3 business days, and with minimal input required from you, we can have a valid document ready for your trip to Sierra Leone. This is done through the Immigration Office in Freetown. Read on to find out how we can help.

It is advisable (though not compulsory) that you register with the diplomatic office responsible for your nationality. You can find the details of these diplomatic offices in Freetown on this page.

This page contains information on Sierra Leone's diplomatic and consular missions abroad. All persons entering Sierra Leone must have a valid passport or travel document. Citizens of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) do not require a visa to enter the Sierra Leone, but most other nationalities do. If you are resident in a country where there is no consular mission, then check out our Visa Services page.
