Visa policy of the Gambia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Visitors to the Gambia must obtain a visa from one of the Gambian diplomatic missions unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries.

In October 2019, the Government of the Gambia announced plans for a new visa policy.[1]

Since November 2019, there has been no available official Gambian source on its current visa policy.
