Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need a visa to travel to Gabon?

Is yellow fever vaccination required for Gabon?
Yes. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is a mandatory entry requirement for all visitors to Gabon including US citizens. You must carry your International Certificate of Vaccination also known as the yellow card. Entry will be denied without it. Gabon also has malaria risk throughout the country so consult a travel medicine clinic in Dallas before your trip. AA Passport & Visa reminds every Gabon visa applicant about this strict requirement. Call 972-231-1600.
What makes Gabon stand out as a wildlife destination compared to other African countries?
Gabon is exceptional for wildlife tourism for several reasons. It has 13 national parks covering 11% of the country’s land area. Because Gabon has low human population density and significant oil wealth that reduced pressure for agricultural land clearing, its rainforests are largely intact. Loango National Park is famous for forest elephants, hippos, and gorillas coming to the beach — a scene found nowhere else on earth. Gabon is also a shark sanctuary making it excellent for marine life encounters. Tourism is still developing making it a genuinely off-the-beaten-path destination for adventurous DFW travelers.
What documents do I need for a Gabon e-Visa application?
For the Gabon e-Visa you need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your entry date, a recent digital passport photo, a scan of your passport bio page, your travel dates and accommodation details in Gabon, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and payment for the e-Visa fee online. For a consulate visa additional documents including a letter of invitation may be required. AA Passport & Visa reviews all documents at our Richardson TX office. Call 972-231-1600.
How long does a Gabon visa take to process from Dallas TX?
