Benin Visa for Spanish Citizens – Best Time to Apply

Do I have to send my passport to get a visa to Benin? Is it safe to send a passport?
Yes. You will have to send your original passport, not a copy of it. The Benin visa is stamped on one of your passport pages. Visas can not be processed without your original passport. Due to the importance of your passport, we suggest that you submit your application by a secure method, such as a courier.
