How Long Does it Take to Get Benin
Visas
Benin visas normally take 2 to 4 business days to process your visa.
You should allow for 5 business days if we are also shipping your

Nationality.
The processing time of your visa is at the consulate's discretion.
Although 90% of the visas are done in the 4 day time frame - the
consulate does maintain the right to hold applications while waiting
for approval from it's ministry of foreign affairs, or while conducting
background checks. For that reason we always recommend that applicant's
give themselves another week to process their visas.
