    FAQ: how to get a visa (Paris consulate claims not on a page read)

    Before
    Apply to a Senegalese embassy or consulate before travel. Senegal’s consulate in Paris sorts nationalities into three groups: those exempt from a visa, those who must obtain one in advance, and those whose visa also needs prior clearance from the Interior Ministry. Neither the consulate nor the Foreign Ministry describes a visa on arrival, so do not fly to Dakar counting on one.
    After
    Senegal's Foreign Ministry says nationals of countries not on its exemption list need a visa, and that holders of refugee travel documents also need one. No official source we could read describes a visa on arrival or the application procedure.

    FAQ: length of stay (extension/long-stay advice not on a page read)

    Before
    Up to 90 days visa-free. For longer stays, apply for an extension or a long-stay visa through the Senegalese authorities before your 90 days run out.
    After
    Senegal's Foreign Ministry says nationals of exempt countries need no visa for a stay of under 3 months. The UK government says that to stay longer than 3 months you must register with the local authorities after you arrive, who issue a Carte d'étranger.

Nationals of countries not on the list need a visa.
