Why applications on this route get refused
Your application fee is not refunded if you are rejected
The portal says an online application does not itself entitle you to a visa: the Authority can accept or reject your request, and the processing fee is kept by the administration even if the visa is denied.
How to avoid it: Check every document against the Long Term Visa requirements before you pay and submit, since a rejected application will not be refunded.
Not meeting one of the listed entry requirements
The portal says every visitor must meet the entry requirements the border police lists for their visa type before being let into Guinea.
How to avoid it: Gather every document listed for the Long Term Visa (passport, registration certificate, yellow fever certificate, and so on) before you travel.
