Do Equatorial Guinean citizens need a visa to visit Dubai? Yes. Equatorial Guinean passports do not qualify for a UAE visa on arrival, which means the Dubai Visit Visa for Equatorial Guinea citizens must be approved before you board. Because entry depends on nationality, a UAE visa for Equatorial Guinean passport holders is needed whether you live in Malabo, Bata or abroad. Residents of Equatorial Guinea who carry another passport follow that country's rules instead.
Is the Dubai visa for Guinea citizens the same? No. Guinea is a separate country with its own Guinea visa page; everything below applies to Equatorial Guinea only.

Apply online through Dubai Visits Visa and upload your Dubai Visit Visa documents: a colour scan of your passport's bio page, valid for six months or more beyond your travel date and with four blank pages; a recent passport-style photo in colour against a white background, as black-and-white images are rejected; a return flight reservation; and proof of where you will stay, either a hotel reservation or a copy of the Emirates ID belonging to the friend or relative hosting you. If your flight is only days away, request an urgent Dubai Visit Visa through Express Visa. The Application ID sent to your email lets you track your Dubai Visit Visa at any stage.
Routes From Malabo and Bata
How do I get from Malabo to Dubai? Malabo International Airport, at Punta Europa on Bioko Island, has no direct Gulf flights, so every trip includes a connection. Ethiopian Airlines links Malabo with Addis Ababa, where Ethiopian, Emirates and flydubai continue non-stop to Dubai. Royal Air Maroc, Air France and Lufthansa also serve Malabo from Casablanca, Paris and Frankfurt, so check transit rules before choosing those routes.
How do travellers from Bata reach Dubai? CEIBA Intercontinental and Cronos Airlines fly between the mainland port city and Malabo, the usual starting point for long-haul connections. CEIBA also serves Mengomeyén, near Ciudad de la Paz, the designated new capital.
