🇨🇳 China to Gambia: visa and entry requirements 🇬🇲

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Visa and prior immigration clearance required; a short tourism visit may be authorised for up to 90 days · A People's Republic of China ordinary-passport holder is listed by the Gambia Immigration Department among Asian nationalities requiring both a visa and immigration clearance. The traveller should therefore complete the visa and clearance process before travel through the Gambian mission or immigration authority rather than relying on the general last-minute-arrival wording. A short-visit visa may cover a bona fide tourist visit not exceeding 90 days, subject to local security clearance, a return or onward ticket and adequate funds. Visa validity and the period admitted are distinct, and possession of the documents does not guarantee entry because the immigration officer at the port retains final authority.
