Does anyone know if the Guinea Conakry Embassy in Bamako is issues visas?

The same procedure as every year ...

Hello seeb,

never saw a name of you nor a country, where you come from ... Alian?

The embassey "De La République De Guinée" is still there, where it is the last 20+ years ago in Bamako and still offers visa for a horrible price (120tCFA) for 1-3 months.

Tip: you can get the visa for Guinea as well in Bissao (Guinée-Bissao) when coming from North, easy going, apply in the morning, pick up in the afternoon. I don't remember exactly the fee but think it was around Cfa 60.000 (March 2017)

Facebook message on 03/July/18 of Nigeria denying entry into Cameroon. Will keep an eye out for updates

Facebook message reads as follows;

"We were denied entry into Cameroon today at Ekok crossing. They said it is too dangerous and the won’t allow tourists to cross.
We were there about 2 hours. We spoke with someone from the army who said that he was the one who gave the order to the consulates and embassies to stop issuing visas to overlanders. Everyone was extremely deferential to him so I think he was important. He said the situation is very bad. We went over the map with him to
Investigate alternatives. Importantly he said the Bissaula crossing is more dangerous than Ekok and Bot to take it. He said we could crossing near Gembu Nigeria which goes into the central region of Cameroon and said it would be safe. But that gets pretty far north into Nigeria which is certainly not safe.
Thankfully the Nigeria side let us go over and talk with Cameroon before stamping us out.
We rode down to Calabar and got a quote to take a ferry to Doulala for 350 USD each for our passage and motorbike. For a car the price is 1,000,000 cfa or about 1800 USD.
For us it’s not worth the risk to try up north. Also it’s been raining so much and I don’t want to ride in the muddy mountain roads haha.
Good luck to all."

That kind of doesn't make sense, it shows no visas are issued for entry to Cameroon but then says they are getting on a ferry that goes to Doulala which is in Cameroon!

Recent update on Travel without carnet.

Bike is 2003 Bmw r1150GS valued maybe €1800.

Entered Ghana 2 week’s ago (2/2018) at main frontier from Lome, Togo. Given TIP without a problem but had to buy ecowas insurance as Senegalese insurance ‘not accepted ‘.

Entered Nigeria last week and was also asked for carnet but when I explained age and value they had no interest and let me pass but gave me no Customs paper.

Entered Cameroon yesterday and was asked for carnet but when explained age and value I was given a free 30 day passavant.

That’s all so far.
