Who handles applications in India

VFS Global does not operate an Equatorial Guinea visa application centre in India (visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/gnq/ has no content). Instead, the Government of Equatorial Guinea runs an online e-Visa service, open to all nationalities since 1 July 2023, with VFS Global as technical partner: register at egonline.vfsevisa.com, fill the form, upload documents and pay online; the Directorate General of Immigration issues an e-Visa letter by email. The only border currently enabled for the online visa is Malabo International Airport. Equatorial Guinea's e-Visa FAQ says an e-Visa is usually valid for a single entry, and all applicants, including children and infants, must have a visa.
