Senegal visa
Cruiser guy,

Yep I agree with you what use is it giving information to other travellers who might be doing something different and searching the web for answers.....

Anyway back on topic..... you can get the new bio-metric visa for Senegal in Banjul, if you want to.

Hello folks!

I have a question on how to fill in the online pre-registration form (http://www.snedai.sn) so I can get the visa for Senegal.
What sould I type in the "date of departure" and "date of return" fields?
Is that the date of entry and date of exit?
Also what sould I put in the "address of stay in Senegal" field?
Is that OK if I put the camping that I'm going to stay?

Thanks!

Yes, you could put the address for where you are camping, somewhere like Zebrabar near St Louis.

However, you do need to provide a confirmed letter from a hotel in support of your application.

We had some passengers on our trips who did not provide one and there were considerable delays to their application.

Date of departure and date of return is as you say date of entry and date of exit.

Thank you for the immediate reply David!

But how can I get a confirmed letter from a hotel?
It can't work with a letter from the camping (if I ask from the camping to send me one)?

You can just use a campsite address. I got a email from zebrabar and use that and have just got the second of the two emails back from the pre registration. I intend to get my visa in Nouakchott.

Registration receipt
I have received the Recu dInscription/Registration receipt. Is there another email to come, or is this the one to take to the consulate. I got this one immediately after applying five days ago. There is a note at the bottom that says the conformation email must accompany it

There will be a second mail with your visa confirmation. Don't know if the registration receipt is enough for getting it at a consulate but would not have worked at Rosso.

I emailed them to ask where the second email had got to and received this reply.

Dear sir

Please go at Madrid with the registration receipt and issue your visa don’t wait for the second email

Thank you

cordially.

So it looks like you can get the visa with just the first email. (maybe not Rosso)

Hi Mavis,

Are you sure you can collect the visa from Nouakchott?

Cheers,

Gee

yes, getting it in nouakchotte is easy enough, remember to take photocopies of the first 5 pages of your passport! they get a bit stroppy if you dont. also the embassy is not as stated in the lonely planet. if your driving from nouadhibou you will come to a large roundabout with a fish sculpture in the middle. turn left here and it is a few 100m (i think) on the right. no sign, but a flag and a security guard.sorry, but i didnt have my gps at the time.

The Senegalese embassy is at:

N 18 06.317 W 015 59.602

As Mavis says, turn left at the roundabout with the fish sculpture.
Takes less than half an hour, friendly and efficient. Pick up at 14.30 without waiting.

I asked Zebrabar (Ursula) for a confirmation and she kindly sent me a confirmation d'herbergement, which was accepted without any problems.

Happy travels,

Gee

Hi folks- we are planning to come into Senegal from Mali - Kayes to Kidira, then down through Niokolo-Koba park, continuing south to Guinea. Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain visa and Laissez-Passer at Kidira? We will be passing through Madrid on way down from Europe, so we could potentially pick up the visas there. Does anyone know if a Laissez-Passer can be acquired at the Madrid Consulate? Will be driving a 2001 Land Cruiser.

That is the one border that, as of yet, nobody has reported back on regarding the issue of Senegal visas.

I personally can confirm the visa can be issued at Rosso (with Mauri) and Mpak (with Guinea Bissau).....we have obtained the visa at these borders with our groups.

I have read reports you can get the visa on the border with Guinea and also one of the borders with Gambia....but that is info from other traveller reports.

If you are heading down through Europe, you can simply get the Senegal visa at the embassy in Nouakchott......presume from there you're heading into Mali, then turn back towards Senegal and Guinea?
