For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

An entry visa is required unless the traveller is exempt. Nationals of States that have a visa-exemption agreement with Benin, or that are exempt under another international convention applicable in Benin, and nationals of States specially exempted by decree, do not need a visa. The business visa is issued in printed form or as a sticker in the passport. The official source does not list which nationalities are exempt.
