🇸🇳 Senegal Business Visa
Turkish citizens who plan to travel to Senegal for business meetings, conferences, trade fairs, or commercial agreements are required to obtain a Senegal Business Visa. This visa is issued solely for short-term business activities and does not grant the right to work in Senegal.
There is no regional restriction for Senegal business visa applications. Applications from all provinces of Türkiye are accepted and can be easily completed through Marsel Visa. Once the process is finalized, your passport will be securely delivered to the address you have provided. Senegal business visa applications are generally concluded within 3 working days; however, this period may vary depending on the evaluation process of the Senegal Embassy.
Turkish citizens are subject to visa procedures for all business trips to Senegal. Holders of Ordinary (Bordo), Special (Green), and Service (Gray) passports are required to obtain a visa. Only holders of Diplomatic (Black or Red) passports are exempt from visa procedures for stays up to 90 days.
