d — Congress, Meetings and Seminar Visa (Visado para Congresos, Reuniones y Seminarios)

The Congress, Meetings, and Seminar Visa (Visado para Congresos, Reuniones y Seminarios) was formalized under a 2019 presidential decree to streamline the entry of international participants attending events of public interest in Equatorial Guinea. This visa fills a specific gap for short-term professional and academic visitors who do not require a full business visa but need a dedicated authorization to participate in conferences, workshops, or national and international seminars. It ensures that event organizers can facilitate the arrival of speakers, delegates, and experts in a structured and legally compliant manner.

This visa is intended for professionals, academics, and delegates invited to participate in events hosted by government bodies, registered institutions, or recognized organizations. The applicant must provide an official invitation letter from the event organizers in Equatorial Guinea. A distinctive aspect of this visa is its focused duration—typically 30 days, with the possibility of a 30-day extension—making it a highly specialized tool for time-bound professional engagements rather than general business or commercial activities.
