Guinea's border police say every foreign national who wishes to enter Guinea needs a visa, except for visa waiver countries. The eVisa is applied for online on the border police portal (paf.gov.gn); once the application is approved an Entry Visa Letter is sent, and the visa is collected at the visa-on-arrival counter.

Passport validity: Guinea's border police list a valid passport 'with validity more than 6 months' among the documents needed at Guinean entry checkpoints.
Return or onward ticket: Guinea's border police list a valid return ticket among the conditions for the visa and among the documents needed upon arrival at Guinean entry checkpoints.
Vaccinations: Guinea's border police list a yellow fever certificate among the conditions for the eVisa. The UK government says a certificate is required to enter if you are coming from a country listed as a yellow fever transmission risk.
