Overview
Religious Visa (Religious/Temporary)
There is no dedicated 'Religious Visa' category in the official Gambian fee schedule. Religious workers typically enter under general visitor or business categories and must coordinate with the Gambia Immigration Department for long-term stay authorization. Applicants must be sponsored by a recognized religious body and may need to register with the NGO Affairs Agency.
