Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

ECOWAS Community citizenship creates the visa-free entry right for travel to another Member State, subject to the protocol's conditions.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The capture does not establish a separate Guinea-specific implementation rule; it also states that a valid travel document and international health certificate are required.
  • ECOWAS official protocol capture
    Any citizen of the Community who wishes to enter the territory of any other Member State shall be required to possess valid travel document and international health certificate.

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

The official entry phase covers a Community citizen visiting another Member State for no more than 90 days through an official entry point, without an entry visa. The official source does not state a worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker or self-funded residence basis.

What entry, registration or residence-document formalities remain?

A stay beyond 90 days requires permission for an extension from the appropriate authority. The official protocol also requires a valid travel document and international health certificate for entry, but does not provide Guinea-specific forms or processing details.
