Most of these measures are still operational to this day and must be observed by all travelers. We suggest you consult our last post which details these measures.
In summary, you can fully enjoy your trip to Benin, shops, tourist sites, restaurants are open, as in the whole world you will have to respect barrier gestures.

First, you must create a file on the dedicated site https://www.centresurveillancesanitaire.bj/ to obtain a code that you must present to take the PCR test on your arrival. We recommend choosing the option of the VIP PCR test at 75,000 F that you pay online by credit card to allow you to obtain your result within 24 hours and thus collect your passport. You must also on the same site create a file for your test necessary for the return, depending on the organization of your trip, you choose the basic test at 50,000 F which requires you to do it 72 hours before your departure at the Palais des congrès de Cotonou, or the VIP test at 75,000 F that you can perform 24 hours before your departure.
