→ Vatican City visa for Gambian citizens

Gambian citizens planning a spiritual pilgrimage or visit to Vatican City will find a visa is required, typically obtained as a short-stay Schengen visa through the Italian embassy. These visas usually permit stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period and commonly cost around €80. As the world's smallest sovereign state, Vatican City is entirely enclaved within Rome, Italy, meaning all travel necessitates transit through Italian territory and the use of the Euro. Factor in the long journey from Banjul to Rome, which invariably involves connecting flights, and the two-hour time difference.
