What should I do if my Benin e-visa application is rejected?

If your visa application is rejected, address the reasons for rejection and reapply for the Benin e-visa on Atlys

Here are some common Benin visa rejection reasons:

  • Invalid passport: Having a passport with a validity of less than 6 months automatically leads to visa rejection. 

  • Incorrect information: Providing information in the visa application that is incorrect or does not match the passport also causes rejection. 

  • Outdated photograph: Submitting a photograph not meeting the Benin visa photo requirements, for example, if it’s older than 6 months, also negatively impacts your application.

You only need the application ID to check your Benin visa status online.

Note: Your application ID (or number) will be provided in the email that you must have received upon successfully paying your visa fee. 

Can I check my Benin visa status using my passport number?

No, it is not possible to track Benin's visa status by passport number. You will require your application ID to check the status.

My Benin e-visa status is still showing as "in process." What should I do?
