How to Get a Tourist Visa for Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone Tourist Visa

Sierra Leone Tourist Visa

When I hear the name “Sierra Leone,” the first thing that comes to mind is the 2006 movie Blood Diamond with Leonardo DiCaprio. There is much more to Sierra Leone though than just diamonds. It has a unique landscape and a coastline of approximately 360 kilometers, filled with gorgeous white sandy beaches.

Sierra Leone is “real Africa” and worth the trip if you are looking to rough it a bit. The good thing about this country is the visa processes are all pretty easy.

I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Sierra Leone Tourist Visa.
