What it means in practice
14 days is about two weeks. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 14 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.
For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.
How Burkina Faso counts your stay: As stated on the visa.
Before you go
Official details are shown in English.

- Yellow fever vaccination certificate — At least 10 days before departure (the certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination); Cost of the vaccination at a certified centre. Required for all arriving travellers aged 9 months and over, whatever country you come from.

- Printed e-visa
- Travel form QR code

How to avoid overstaying
- Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
- Plan to leave a day or two early. With 14 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
- Extensions. Our data has no extension route for Burkina Faso; plan to leave on time or arrange a different visa in advance.
- Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Burkina Faso. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
