ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A biometric passport valid for at least 3 months after the planned return date is required to enter Senegal. EU citizens do not need a visa for short stays (non-working purposes) up to 90 days. WARNING: Although Senegal is considered a relatively safe country, it is advisable to follow common safety precautions, such as avoiding certain neighborhoods in Dakar after dark, limiting travel outside the city and at night, and being extra cautious in crowded places due to possible thefts and robberies. Do not visibly wear valuables (watches, rings, chains), and in case of an attack, do not resist. VACCINATIONS: Vaccination against yellow fever is not mandatory but highly recommended, as well as vaccinations against hepatitis A and B, meningitis, and typhoid fever. Even for shorter stays, the use of antimalarials is advised. Prevention mainly involves using insect repellents and mosquito nets. It is advisable to consult a travel medicine specialist before the trip. Due to occasional occurrences of certain infectious diseases, we strongly recommend paying close attention to basic hygiene rules while traveling in Senegal – especially drinking safe water, i.e., hygienically bottled or boiled water, consuming fruit and vegetables that can be peeled, thoroughly cooking all food, and avoiding food whose safety is questionable (e.g., ice cubes in drinks or ice cream). It is also advisable to carry hand sanitizers.
