Requirements and Instructions for The Gambia Visas

"A passport, visa, and evidence of yellow fever vaccination
are required. The U.S. Embassy strongly recommends obtaining a Gambian
visa in advance of arrival.
Travelers who do not obtain the necessary visa before arrival in
The Gambia will have their passports stamped at the port of entry
with a 24-, 48-, or 72- hour pass and are required to report to
Banjul Immigration Department to regularize their stay. Banjul Immigration
may grant permission to remain for one month the application cost
of which is about $16. Extensions require additional visits to the
Gambian Immigration Department and additional fees.
A $10.00 (U.S. dollars) tourist levy is charged upon arrival at
the airport. Payment is only accepted in U.S. dollars, British pounds,
or Euros. NOTE: Most charter flights should have this fee included
in the price of the ticket." - US State Dept
