How long is a Senegal visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Senegal Tourist eVisa permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 3 months from issue (single or multiple entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Senegal applications are refused.
