How to Apply
All visa applicants residing in Conakry must pay the visa application fee at ECOBANK's downtown location in order to obtain an appointment for a visa interview.

The application fee, as established by the U.S. Government, is $100 U.S. dollars or the equivalent in Guinea Francs. The receipt issued by ECOBANK will include details of payment and list an appointment date. Please note due to the large demand for visa services, there is a waiting list for appointments. Applicants should make their appointments at ECOBANK up to 3 months before their planned travel.

Non-Immigrant Visas
General Information
Only nonimmigrant visas (NIVs) are processed in Conakry. Immigrant visas for immediate family of American citizens or U.S. legal permanent residents, as well as Diversity Visas, are handled through the U.S. Embassy in Dakar, Senegal, or Accra, Ghana.

Nonimmigrant visas are a privilege, not a right. In order to be granted a nonimmigrant visa, applicants must overcome the presumption under U.S. immigration law that all visa applicants are intending to immigrate [Section 214b of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)]. Applicants overcome this presumption by showing evidence that of strong, binding ties to their country of residence outside the United States, such as by showing evidence of finances, social situation, and already established history of international travel.

Fraud
Attempting to obtain a visa by willful misrepresentation of a fact or by submitting fraudulent documents may result in permanent denial of entry into the United States. Applicants for visitor visas should not employ persons to assist them in preparing documents or securing access to the U.S. consular office.

Fees
The only fee involved with applying and receiving a visa to the United States is the administrative fee of $100 or the equivalent in Guinean Francs, paid at Ecobank on Avenue de la Republique in downtown Conakry. Applicants should go to Ecobank to pay the fee and schedule an interview date.

Every visa applicant, including babies, must pay the obligatory and non-refundable fee for each visa request. There are no other fees or persons involved in the visa process except for reciprocity fees that may apply for some nationalities for some types of visas (If this applies to you, you will be told by the consular officer at the interview. These fees are not paid in advance of the interview).
