 Rules of entry and stay
    The list of countries and their corresponding visa regimes for Sierra Leone can be found here.
    If you are an ECOWAS citizen, you do not need a visa to travel to Sierra Leone. Only a valid passport, ID or ETC is required to travel to or through Sierra Leone.
    If you are not an ECOWAS citizen, you will need a visa and a valid passport to travel to or transit through the country.
    A visa to enter the country can be obtained from the Sierra Leone High Commission/Embassy abroad. This visa gives the right to enter the country and does not include the length of stay.
    The duration of the visa, whether multiple or single, is determined by the immigration officer at the point of entry. The passport is usually stamped for one month in the first instance by an immigration officer. If a person wishes to stay longer than a month, they must apply for an extension at the Immigration Department in Freetown.
    Entry visas obtained from Sierra Leone High Commissions/Embassies abroad indicate the purpose of the entry category. This indicates the purpose of entry into the country indicated in your passport. These are the following categories:
  • Business
  • Tourism/Visit
  • For students.
    However, if you wish to change a visa that you have previously obtained, apply for a change of status to the Chief Immigration Officer.

    Landing visa of Sierra Leone (Landing Visa)
    The host can obtain a boarding visa on behalf of the visitor from the Sierra Leone Immigration Department.
    For a non-ECOWAS foreign national to enter Sierra Leone, the authorized resident or organization in the country must apply for a landing visa for that foreign national by sending a letter on their behalf to the Chief Immigration Officer. A photocopy of the passport of the person wishing to come to Sierra Leone must be attached to the application, and the application letter must contain the following information about the visitor:
  • Visitor's name as stated in the application letter
  • Nationality
  • Passport number
  • Type of employment/profession
  • The purpose of the visit
  • Selected point of entry to Sierra Leone
  • Length of stay
  • The flight on which the visitor intends to travel to the country.
    The letter should also include the following information about the host:
  • Name
  • Address.
    —
    The cost of boarding visa
    The cost of boarding visa depends on the applicant's nationality. If the applicant is a citizen of the African Union, one of the non-ECOWAS countries, the cost of the visa is:
  • 250,000 leones for a single entry visa
  • 375,000 leones for a multiple entry visa.
    For citizens of other countries, the cost of a visa is:
  • 800,000 leones for a single entry visa
  • 1,200,000 leones for a multiple entry visa.

    Visa on Arrival to Sierra Leone (Visa on Arrival)
    Alternatively, you can obtain a visa on arrival at the port of entry/airport/seaport from an immigration officer if you are a national of one of the countries listed by the Sierra Leone Immigration Department: https://slid.gov.sl/visa-on-arrival/.
    The cost of a visa for citizens of the African Union is 25 USD. For citizens of other countries, it is 80 USD.
    A visa on arrival is issued only at the point of entry before the passenger passes immigration control.
    A visa on arrival is ONLY issued to visitors on tourist, business, religious, academic, or casual visits to see family and friends. Visa on arrival does not apply to people traveling to the country for other reasons such as employment, study, dependents, diplomats, etc. Therefore, if you are traveling to Sierra Leone for any of these reasons, you must apply for a visa at the nearest Sierra Leone embassy before traveling.
    A visa on arrival is valid for one month, but can be extended at the Immigration Department upon arrival in the country.
    A visa on arrival allows one entry into the country. The visa cannot be used to exit and re-enter the country.
    A visa on arrival can be obtained at any of the three main points of entry into the country: Freetown International Airport, Lungi; Jendema is a crossing point from Liberia to Sierra Leone; Gbalamuyu is the crossing point from Guinea to Sierra Leone.
