ABOUT e-VISA
The e-Visa portal makes it easy for short-term visitors to obtain a Liberian visa online — quickly and hassle-free.
Travelers can now apply for a short-term e-Visa without visiting the Liberian Embassy or Consular Office. The process is simple: apply, pay, when approved - download and print the e-Visa letter, and present the letter at the port of entry.
With the e-visa portal, there’s no need for in-person appointments or mailing original documents to the consulate. The visa on arrival letter grants you the right to enter Liberia.
To apply, you’ll need an internet connection, a credit, debit card, or paypal for payment, and scanned copies of your required documents.
Upon arrival in Liberia, travelers must present a printed copy of the visa letter and all necessary documents at the border for verification.
- Travel Document/Passport
- Document proving the purpose of travel
- Proof of accommodation
