Tip extention in senegal
If you are looking for a prolongation of your Tip (passavant) we just did ours in ziguinchor just accross the city hall , easy and free in 5 mn.by the way the ferry between Dakar and Ziguinchor is book most of the time now so expect two weeks delay if you don t like the 800km road from dakar.

Can someone please post a picture of the TIP? I would really like to know what it looks like. Do they write anything in your passport as well?

No stamp in the passport. The TIP is surrendered when you leave Senegal. 10 days. Can be extended TWICE 15 days each at regional customs headquarters in Ziguinchor, Saint Louis or Dakar

.We'll be entering Senegal from Mali in the east. Don't want to go to the coast. Going into Guinea. Guess we'll only be in Senegal for 10 days.

No Problems there. After Immigration to customs with your car papers. They fill it out for you 2500 cfa for 10 days. Please post a detailed update about road conditions to labe. I want to do the trip in February. The road should be almost completely paved by now. According to my infos the chinese working on it. Also how long is the guinean TIP valid ? I heard they give you for one month straight.
Thanks
Robert

Guinea visa,
You can get one month, 2 months or 3 months. We got ours in Rabat. 800 Dirham for one month. About 3 hours processing.

Today entering Sengal from Banjul direction the longest TIP they would give me was 5 days (even though I showed then my earlier trips last year when I got 10 days).
At one point they were only going to give me 72 hours. Bizarre!

So now I have to go to Customs in Dakar to get an extension
Anyone know if is possible to extend TIP in Tambacounda?
