Documents
Always required
Passport valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay with blank pages for visa-on-arrival issuance.
Older Burkina Faso visa-on-arrival practices and general entry guidance assume a passport with several months’ validity and blank pages; travellers should confirm current requirements.
Confirmed flight itinerary or ticket showing arrival in and departure from Burkina Faso within the allowed stay.
Entry conditions require a return ticket or equivalent guarantee; visa-on-arrival travellers are typically asked to show onward or return travel.
Hotel reservation or other accommodation proof for the intended stay.
Proof of accommodation is commonly requested for short-stay visas and at border control to substantiate the purpose and duration of stay.
International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever presented at border control.
Yellow fever vaccination is a standard entry requirement for Burkina Faso; travellers using historical visa-on-arrival schemes are not exempt. Yellow fever vaccination is a standard entry requirement for Burkina Faso and applies regardless of passport category.
Recommended
Evidence of sufficient financial means (e.g., recent bank statement, cash, or credit card) to cover the stay.
Not always explicitly listed, but many visa-on-arrival regimes reserve the right to check means of subsistence; recommended as a precaution, especially given the rule’s noted uncertainty.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
Assume a cash economy: credit cards are seldom accepted outside a few higher-end places, so carry enough West African CFA (XOF) for daily spend and keep an eye on where you can reliably withdraw.
2
In Ouagadougou, shared taxis typically have fixed fares paid directly to the driver; for moto-taxis, negotiate the price for a private ride before you get on (no meter, no surprises).
