US State Department, Consular Affairs Information Sheet for Non-Immigrant Visas
The U.S. Mission is closed on American and Guinean public holidays.
|
The
Consular Section of the Embassy provides such services as travel warnings,
medical
alerts, passport issuance for and registration of American
citizens, and nonimmigrant visa issuance for travel to the United States.
In the event of an emergency involving a U.S. citizen during non-working
hours, an Embassy duty officer is available. To contact the duty officer,
the U.S. citizen should telephone the Embassy and describe the problem to
the Marine Security Guard, who will then notify the duty officer.
New Procedures Concerning Visa Fees and Interview Appointments 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 200,000 Guinean francs or 100 U.S.
dollars. 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.
Applicants living outside of Conakry can make their appointments by
sending an e-mail to ConsularConakr@state.gov
or calling the Consular Section at (224) 41-15-20 ext. 4167. Applicants should arrive at the
Embassy on the day of their appointment by 7:30 am with their completed
application, photos, receipt, and supporting documents. ECOBANK will accept visa fees
and schedule appointments during regular business hours, which are Monday
through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 16:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to
13:30 p.m. ECOBANK’S downtown office is located in the Immeuble Al Imam
on Avenue de la Republique. Visa application forms and
printed information on the visa application process are also available at
ECOBANK. Please be advised that ECOBANK employees and officials are
forbidden from helping visa applicants complete application forms and from
providing advice to visa applicants. Visa applicants should direct their
questions to the staff of the U.S. Embassy’s Consular Section. The U.S. Embassy also wishes to remind visa applicants that photographs submitted with visa applications must be taken with a light-colored background. Subjects should be facing the camera; glasses, hats, or head coverings are not allowed
