Relevant laws

  • Immigration Status and Overstay Rules

    Immigration · Severity: Critical

    Your right to stay in Equatorial Guinea depends on the exact visa, residence permit, entry stamp, or visa-free allowance you hold. Do not assume a pending application, job offer, or school ad

  • Work Authorisation Rules

    Employment · Severity: Critical

    In Equatorial Guinea, a visa that allows entry does not always allow work. Paid employment, freelancing, remote work, internships, and trial shifts may each have different permission rules.

  • Tax Residency and Income Reporting

    Tax · Severity: High

    Living in Equatorial Guinea for long enough, working locally, or registering as a resident may trigger tax-residency or income-reporting duties even if your income is paid from abroad.
