🧳 Liberia Welcomes You — Here’s How to Prepare
Liberia rewards the traveler who arrives informed. With decades of culture and rapidly growing tourism, the country combines authenticity with comfort—if you plan.
True Liberia Concierge compiled these ten tips from verified government, health, and aviation sources to make your first visit effortless.
1️⃣ Confirm Passport Validity & Pages
Your passport must remain valid for 6 months after entry and have at least two blank pages. (Liberia Immigration Service & U.S. State Dept.)
2️⃣ Secure Your Visa or e-Visa Before Departure
Apply through the LIS Visa Portal or your nearest Liberian Embassy. True Liberia Concierge partners with LIS-registered agents to assist clients with documentation and application follow-up.
3️⃣ Vaccination & Health Readiness
-
A yellow fever certificate is mandatory.
-
Malaria and typhoid protection recommended.
-
Carry health insurance covering West Africa.
True Liberia Concierge can schedule arrival PCR tests or connect you to partner clinics if needed.
4️⃣ Arrival at Roberts International Airport (ROB)
ROB lies 60 km east of Monrovia. Immigration and baggage areas are modern but busy—book a Concierge pickup for direct transfer to your hotel or meeting point.
5️⃣ Currency & Payments
Liberian Dollars (LRD) coexist with U.S. Dollars. ATMs accept Visa cards, but cash is king in smaller towns. Concierge clients receive on-arrival currency support and safe exchange recommendations.
6️⃣ Accommodation & Transport Bookings
Tourism demand is rising—book rooms and vehicles early. True Liberia Concierge partners with verified guesthouses, drivers, and tour operators for secure, insured travel.
7️⃣ Cultural Etiquette
Liberians value respect. Greet elders first, avoid loud arguments in public, and dress neatly outside beach areas. Photography of people or religious spaces requires permission.
8️⃣ Safety & Timing
Road conditions improve each year, but plan interior travel during daylight. Concierge drivers follow official road-safety guidelines issued by the Ministry of Transport.
9️⃣ Stay Connected
Get a local SIM card (MTN Lonestar or Orange Liberia). Concierge staff can activate and register SIMs and help set up mobile money for local purchases.
🔟 Explore Beyond Monrovia
Use your stay to see Liberia’s true beauty—Buchanan, Robertsport, Gbarnga, or Sanniquellie. True Liberia Concierge creates custom weekend escapes linking beaches, forests, and heritage sites.
