This guide gives the contact details of Guinea-Bissau's representation in India, the national day, and the visa information contained in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) bilateral brief of April 2026. Contact details come from the MEA Protocol Division register, read on 24 September 2026.

No embassy in India

According to the MEA brief of April 2026, Guinea-Bissau does not have a diplomatic mission in India. The MEA Protocol Division register lists an Honorary Consulate as its representation in India, with these details:

  • Address: Bhageria House, 43 Community Centre, New Friends Colony, New Delhi - 110025
  • Telephone: +91-11-46612503
  • Email: pbhaggeria@guinea-bissauindia.com

It lists no other consulates or honorary consulates of Guinea-Bissau in India. These details are as listed when the register was read on 24 September 2026, and readers should confirm them before relying on them.

National day

The national day of Guinea-Bissau is 24 September.

Visas

The brief states that India grants free employment and business visas to nationals of Guinea-Bissau. It does not describe other Indian visa categories for them.

The brief contains no information on Guinea-Bissau's visa rules for Indian citizens, and does not say which of Guinea-Bissau's missions abroad handles visas for travellers from India. Travellers should ask the Honorary Consulate in New Delhi which office deals with their application and what the current requirements are.

Business travellers from Guinea-Bissau, including those in the cashew trade, should confirm the current terms of the free business visa with the Indian authorities before travelling.

Training and scholarships

The brief states that regular courses under the ITEC and ICCR programmes are available to Guinea-Bissau, as described in the development article of this guide.

India's representation in Guinea-Bissau

The brief records that an Honorary Consulate of India in Bissau was inaugurated in May 2010. Indian nationals in Guinea-Bissau who need consular help, including those who travel for the cashew season, should confirm the correct office through the Ministry of External Affairs.

A note on honorary consuls

Honorary consuls have limited powers. An honorary consulate may not be able to issue visas or passports or deal with other consular matters itself. Because Guinea-Bissau has no embassy in India, readers should confirm requirements with the Honorary Consulate before applying and should ask it which office will take the final decision.
