Senegal visa for Malagasy citizens

For Malagasy citizens planning a visit to Senegal, the good news is that a visa on arrival is readily available, allowing for stays of up to 90 days, perfect for exploring the vibrant culture and beautiful coastlines. You'll find two distinct tourist visa types to choose from, ensuring your trip is tailored to your needs, with most travelers opting for the standard 90-day tourist visa costing around $50 USD. Given the geographical distance, direct flights from Antananarivo to Dakar can be lengthy, so consider this when planning your itinerary and pack light for easier transit through the bustling capital.
