Visa on arrival with QR code (e-VOA)
Starting March 11, 2025, international travelers can apply for an electronic visa on arrival to visit Liberia, but if there is a Liberian embassy in one's country, the traveler is required to apply for a visa directly at the embassy and not through this portal.
After submitting all required documents and paying the appropriate fee, travelers are expected to receive a PDF or QR code via email. They can then use this document to board the plane and obtain a visa upon arrival. The expected processing time is three days and a visa on arrival can only be issued at Monrovia international airport.
A visa on arrival may also be issued to travelers starting their journey from a country that has no diplomatic representation of Liberia, provided that the transporting carrier sends a telex message to the station manager in Monrovia. If confirmation is received from the station manager and a copy of the telex confirmation is attached to the ticket, the traveler may board.
Visa required in advance
The following countries hosted Liberian embassies at the time the e-VOA platform was implemented and are therefore required to apply through an embassy:
