Entry Requirements for Burundi

15-Day Stay

A short visit option for those with limited time.

30-Day Stay

A standard holiday option for regular travel.

60-Day Stay

A longer permit for exploring the island thoroughly.

Single Entry

Visas are issued for single entry only.

Visa Varieties

The system offers three main options. You can apply for a short 15-day stay, a standard 30-day holiday, or a longer 60-day permit for those wishing to travel across the entire island.

Required Documents

Get your documents ready before you start your application. Make sure all files are clear and easy to read.

Applicants Passport

Filling Out the Form

The digital form asks for basic contact details and trip information. It is designed to be completed in under ten minutes. Always use the name exactly as it appears on your passport.

Permission Details

Visas are generally issued for single entry. This means if you leave the country to visit a neighbouring island, you will likely need a new permit to return to Madagascar.

Financial Considerations

The cost is calculated based on the length of your stay. Shorter trips have different administrative costs than longer stays. You can check the latest fee categories for more details.
