U.S. Citizen Services

American Emergency Services

The U.S. Consular Section can assist American citizens in a range of emergency situations.  Since there is no U.S. Embassy in Guinea-Bissau, our ability to assist Americans in an emergency in Guinea-Bissau is severely limited. All Americans traveling to Guinea-Bissau are strongly encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy.

ACS Hours

  • Note: Effective September 6, 2011 all routine consular services at the U.S. Embassy Dakar, Senegal will be provided by APPOINTMENT ONLY to all U.S. citizens visiting or residing in Senegal or Guinea-Bissau. There will no longer be walk-in hours for routine consular services. Emergency cases (such as medical emergencies, deaths or arrests involving American citizens) will still be handled on a walk-in basis during normal Embassy hours, or after hours by calling the Embassy duty officer.

    Emergency cases (such as medical emergencies, deaths or arrests involving American citizens) will still be handled on a walk-in basis. American Citizens who need emergency services are welcome to come during normal U.S. Embassy hours which are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
