Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

The official e-Visa application portal of the Republic of Guinea-⁠Bissau is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all visa applicants. This privacy policy sets out our practices regarding the collection, use, storage and protection of your information when you use our online services.

By using our platform to submit your e-Visa application, you expressly consent to the data management practices described in this document.

2. Information we collect

To process your visa application for Guinea-⁠Bissau efficiently, we need to collect two types of data: identifiable personal data and non-personal technical data.

3. How we use your information

Your information is collected for the sole purpose of processing your official e-Visa application. Legitimate uses include:

• Eligibility checks and application processing: Your passport and identity details are securely transmitted to the immigration authorities of Guinea-⁠Bissau responsible for approving your visa.
• Notifications and tracking: We use your email address to send you payment confirmation, status updates and your approved e-Visa as an electronic PDF.
• Service improvement: Aggregated statistical analysis of waiting times and application flows to streamline government processing.

4. Data confidentiality and security

The security of your data is our highest priority. All transmissions of personal data use highly secure SSL/TLS encryption protocols. In addition, our storage servers undergo regular security audits and are protected against any unauthorised access by advanced firewall systems.

Access to your personal data is strictly limited to accredited government immigration officers and duly authorised technical support teams.

5. Your rights as a user

In accordance with international regulations on the protection of personal data, you have the right to access, rectify and erase the personal data collected about you. Please note, however, that any request to erase data while your visa application is being processed may result in the immediate cancellation of your application, with no possibility of a refund of the processing fees.

6. Changes to the privacy policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time to reflect changes in legislation or improvements to our technical processes. Any change will be published directly on this page, with the corresponding revision date shown at the top. We encourage you to review it regularly.
