Current Travel Situation
Guinea-Bissau to Russia: What You Need to Know
Russia and Guinea-Bissau maintain diplomatic relations, and Russia has engaged diplomatically with West African nations. Despite this, Guinea-Bissau citizens require a visa. Travel to Russia has become more complex due to international sanctions and geopolitical tensions following 2022.
How to Get There
From Bissau (OXB) to Moscow (SVO) via Dakar (DKR) and Istanbul (IST) on Turkish Airlines and Aeroflot, or via Casablanca (CMN) and Paris (CDG) on Royal Air Maroc and Aeroflot. Routing options have changed significantly since 2022. Total journey is approximately 16 to 22 hours.
Money & Banking
Russia uses the Russian Ruble (RUB). Visa and Mastercard are not accepted due to sanctions. Carry cash in rubles. Budget $50 to $100 USD equivalent per day. ATMs dispense rubles but may not accept foreign cards.
Practical Tips
Check current travel advisories before planning travel to Russia. Moscow (SVO) and St. Petersburg (LED) are the main tourist destinations. Routing options have become more complex since 2022. The Russia-Africa Summit framework has strengthened diplomatic ties but individual travel remains subject to visa requirements.
