As entry restrictions may change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the nearest Embassy of Guinea, to ensure that you have accurate information for your specific purpose prior to departure.

Please note that Singapore has no diplomatic representation in Guinea which constrains our ability to extend consular assistance in an emergency.

Entry and Exit

Singaporeans may stay up to 30 days in Guinea without a visa. As visa requirements often change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the Consulate of Guinea in Singapore for up-to-date information. There should be at least six months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from Guinea.

Additional Information

Prior to your travel, consult your doctor for travel health advice regarding vaccinations required or recommended and purchase comprehensive travel insurance.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a risk of yellow fever transmission in Republic of Guinea. To fully protect yourself against yellow fever during your travels, you are advised to receive the yellow fever vaccination 10 days before your travels. All travellers, including Singapore residents, who arrive in Singapore from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission (i.e. regardless of area, city or region) are required to have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate and present it to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer at the immigration counter upon arrival to Singapore.

The International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is only considered valid 10 days after vaccination and the validity lasts for the life of the person vaccinated.

Travellers without a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (e.g. unvaccinated individuals, including those who are ineligible to receive the vaccination, such as children aged 1 year old and below and individuals with contraindications, and travellers whose certificate has yet to become valid),are liable to be quarantined under Section 31 of the Infectious Disease Act, for six days from date of departure from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Quarantine must be served at designated vector-free government quarantine facility. Non-residents who refuse quarantine will be denied entry into Singapore.

Please refer to MOH website https://www.moh.gov.sg/diseases-updates/yellow-fever for more information on yellow fever.
