Description

Swiss citizens require a visa to enter Liberia. The country has recently introduced an eVisa system, allowing travelers to complete their application online before travel. Tourist eVisas are generally valid for a single entry and 30 days stay, though longer and multiple-entry visas are available for travelers with extended plans.

Our Travel Authorisation Liberia service guides Swiss travelers through the entire application process — from preparing the correct documents to understanding health and customs rules — ensuring a smooth journey and stress-free arrival at Roberts International Airport or other designated entry points.

Visa process and timing
The eVisa application is completed online via the official portal. Applicants must upload their passport bio-data page, travel itinerary, and accommodation details, then pay the visa fee electronically. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days. Once approved, the eVisa confirmation is sent electronically and must be presented upon arrival in Liberia. Immigration officers will issue the visa sticker in the passport at the entry port.
