Visas and immigration in Liberia

Liberia allows entry into its territory to foreign travelers having a passport and, for those who are not exempt from, a visa. This visa can be obtained from the competent diplomatic representation of the place of residence of the traveler. Each traveler on arrival is also subject to a biometric check from an immigration officer.

Exemptions: Nationals of the following countries are exempted from visa requirements to enter Liberian territory: ECOWAS countries (Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, etc ...) and South Korea.

A visa may be issued if necessary to travellers starting their journey from a country that has no diplomatic representation of Liberia on condition that:
- The transporting carrier sends a telex message the station manager in Monrovia with the following details: number of flight and date of arrival; name and nationality of traveller; name and address of residence in Liberia and all other relevant data;
- The traveller is not allowed to get on board unless a confirmation letter is received from the station manager Monrovia.
- A copy of the telex confirmation must be attached to the ticket.
