Visa and Other Entry Requirements For Americans Visiting African Countries
Hello all,
I hope your day is wonderful and you're looking forward to your new travel plans.
Entry Requirements For Americans Visiting African Countries


A valid, unexpired U.S. passport is required for travel to all countries in Africa. In addition, most countries in sub-Saharan Africa require U.S. citizens to have a visa. If visas are required, obtain them before you leave home. Be particularly attentive to visa requirements for countries you may transit en route to your country of destination.

If you decide to visit additional countries en route, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain visas. In most African countries, if you arrive without a visa, you will not be admitted into the country and will have to depart on the next plane.

This can be extremely inconvenient if the next plane does not arrive for several days, the airport hotel is full, and the airport has no other sleeping accommodations.

Thanks for stopping by.
