The Gambia passport: visa requirements for Africa

A The Gambia passport gives visa-free entry to 25 African countries, visa on arrival in 7 more, and e-visa or eTA access to 11. A visa must be arranged in advance for 10. That puts The Gambia at #3 of 54 in our intra-African passport ranking (visa-free plus visa on arrival), based on January 2025 data.

Data snapshot: January 2025. Confirm with the destination's embassy before you book.

The Gambia is an ECOWAS member. Citizens of ECOWAS states can normally enter other member countries without a visa for up to 90 days under the bloc's free movement protocol. Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger announced their exit from ECOWAS in 2025, so verify the current position for those three.
