Complete your Burkina Faso arrival card online

A form is tied to one trip: one travel date and one flight. The portal states no validity period.

A submitted form can be changed on the official portal through the option to modify the form. It is found with the document number, the date of issue and the travel date.

The form does not decide how long you may stay in Burkina Faso. That depends on your visa and on the immigration rules that apply to you.

The official portal states no submission window. The form only refuses a travel date in the past. The Belgian foreign ministry recommends completing the form in good time, and it has to be done before the police check at the airport.

The portal generates the QR code when the form is validated. After we submit your form, we send the QR code and the digital travel form to the email address given in your order.

The official FAQ adds that in case of persistent difficulties, travelers go to the airport with their passport and all required travel documents and complete the police formalities there.

The Burkina Faso Travel Form (in French: fiche de voyage) is the online form for the police formalities at Burkina Faso's airports. It is issued by the Ministry of Security, through the border police directorate of the National Police. The form has been available online since April 2026.

The official portal describes the travel form as a document that is needed to board a plane, and it tells passengers who do not live in Burkina Faso to complete it in the same way as residents. The Belgian foreign ministry states that completing the electronic travel form is mandatory to enter and to leave the country.

The form covers air travel only, for both arrivals and departures. On the Burkina Faso side, the form lists Ouagadougou and Bobo Dioulasso. Land borders are not covered by the portal.

Every passenger needs a form of their own. The form holds the data of one passenger and has no family or group function. The portal lists no exemptions.

Because the form is needed for arrival and again for departure, one order with us covers one direction. For a round trip, place two orders.

1. Passenger identity: last name, first names, gender, date and place of birth, occupation, nationality and country of residence. An email address is optional.
2. Travel document: type (passport, national identity card or laissez-passer), number, date of issue and place of issue.
3. Travel information: the country, city, address and contact phone number of origin and of destination, the travel date, the reason for travel, the length of stay, the type of accommodation, the airline and the flight number.
4. Commitment: review the summary and certify that the information is accurate.
5. Validation: save the QR code or the digital travel form.

The form warns that knowingly giving inaccurate information on the police form is punishable by imprisonment and a fine, under the law of February 22, 2024 on the entry and stay of foreigners.

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Forgetting the departure form: the form is needed to enter and again to leave
• Inaccurate information: the form warns of imprisonment and a fine for knowingly false statements
• Not saving the QR code: it is presented to the officer at the airport
• Expecting it to cover a land border: the portal is for air travel only
• Treating the form as a visa: a visa, where required, is separate
