Moldova passport Benin

Do Moldovans need a visa for Benin?

You need an eVisa.

eVisa

eVisa (electronic visa). A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.

You apply online before you travel and are approved before you fly. There is no embassy appointment and no interview — you fill in a form on the government's own site, pay the government's fee, and carry the approval with you.

Status
eVisa
Stay permitted
30 or 90 days, as chosen in the application, counted from the entry date you state
Government fee

Typical decision
1 to 96 hours
Apply on the official Benin government site

This is the government's own portal. We are not paid to send you there, and there is no service in between.

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.
