Overview
eVisa still required and the application system is operational (verified live at visaburkina.bf, run by the Ministry of Security / Division de la Migration), but the CURRENT eVisa fee could not be confirmed via a live source this session — see unable_to_verify. SECURITY: UK FCDO 'advises against all travel to Burkina Faso' (highest advisory tier) citing terrorist attack/kidnap threat and 'the unstable political situation' (military government); there is no British Embassy in-country (consular support routed via Accra, Ghana), reinforcing the DB's existing caution notes. Applications and consular contact should be treated as higher-risk/slower than normal.
Visa types: eVisa (Tourist 30-day single entry / multi-entry); Business Visa; Long-stay Visa; Work Permit; Student Visa; Transit; Diplomatic/Official. eVisa via official portal.
