You can board a flight to Benin on a passport from Gambia with no visa. You may stay up to 90 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

- Typical decision
- No application
There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.
Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Benin visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.
If you are travelling on a different passport, Benin's official entry rules are at evisa.bj.
Before you fly
- Changing planes: a passport from Gambia needs a visa even to stay airside in United Kingdom, unless you hold an exempting document. Transit rules legislation.gov.uk · read
Worth knowing
- Applying through an embassy costs more than applying yourself online: Benin's own fee article lists €60, €85 and €110 for the same three e-Visas.
How long it takes
Apply at least 7 days before you arrive, and no more than 90 days before. The fee is not refundable and an issued e-Visa cannot be changed.
