Borders re-opened for international flights, though land and sea borders remain closed and the majority of international airlines have resumed commercial routes.The government of Senegal has said airlines are not allowed to carry foreign nationals from countries who have put in place travel restrictions for Senegal unless they are ordinarily resident in Senegal, diplomats, military, health professionals and other specific professional categories. Despite this, some airlines are only allowing foreign nationals with proof of residency in Senegal to travel. It is important to note that some airlines only accept a full residency card, and not a ‘récépissé’, although the government of Senegal have confirmed that a ‘récépissé’ is proof of residency. You should check with your airline before travelling. To enter Senegal, you must provide a negative test dated no more than 7 days earlier, issued in the country where you started your trip and authorised by that country or a recognised health organisation.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive, you will be taken into Senegalese health care. You must also complete and submit a ‘Public Health Passenger Locator’ form on arrival in Senegal. You’ll need to submit this form at border control. You can access the form on the Dakar Airport website.
