FAQ

Visas for Sierra Leone citizens

Visa-free: 45 countries and territories, including Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin and Botswana. In 2 more countries, an electronic travel authorisation is enough โ€” it takes a few minutes online.
Where can you stay the longest without a visa?
The longest stays: Barbados โ€” 180 days, Dominica โ€” 180 days, Fiji โ€” 120 days and Vanuatu โ€” 120 days.
How accurate is this, and how often is it updated?
The reference is updated weekly and cross-checked against two independent sources; where they disagree, the country is marked โ€œReferences disagreeโ€. Only the destination country can confirm its rules โ€” check its official website or embassy before you travel.
