📋 Tender Overview
Malabo carries out the first practical tests for the implementation of the online visa, with all the actors of the strategy.
It has been this Tuesday, June 13, under the direction of HE Nguema Obiang Mangue, that the simulated practice of acquiring an online visa has been carried out, when the representatives of Security, Civil Aviation, Finance, Treasury, Culture, together with The two companies in charge of the project and the agents of the immigration system have seen in detail what steps those who want to access the country through this tool must take.
In this sense, the Vice President of the Republic has insisted, on the one hand, that there must be control for travelers entering the country, alluding to the presence of foreign security agents at checkpoints at airports. And on the other, he has appealed to Culture and Tourism to implement a plan that allows access and exploitation of the tourism sector in the country, through this tool, since -he has said- the Government has invested millions in the National Tourism Plan.
The flow process has three phases: the first stage is verification, and is done by the e-visa agent; the second step will be validation, by the immigration director, who must also review the documents submitted for the application. After which, the competent phase of the immigration system enters, which includes the review and validation process from the acquisition of the visa, the date of entry and exit and the registration of the tourist's data in the system.
After these phases, the immigration system agents return the information to e-visa and National Security, who will also keep track of those who are already in the country, as well as their departure time.
This project has counted on the training of specialists from the Security and Aviation sectors who will carry out all these services, and it has been foreseen that the method of payment by visitors will be through a prepaid card.
