Roots in Guinea Bissau Cultural Tours

Roots in Guinea Bissau Cultural Tours We firmly believe that every individual, regardless of their lineage, should have the chance to learn, grow, and explore their roots!

Roots in Guinea Bissau Cultural Tours was created to provide an opportunity for all Africans in the Diaspora to reconnect to their ancestral roots in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. Roots in Guinea Bissau Cultural Tours was born out of a profound desire to offer a meaningful opportunity for Africans in the Diaspora to reclaim their heritage and reconnect with their roots. In collaboration with BAN-FAA

BA, a registered NGO dedicated to assisting Africans in the diaspora with their return to Guinea Bissau, we have tirelessly worked to create a remarkable cultural tour experience that transcends tribal or ethnic boundaries. With unwavering determination and a modest budget, we proudly present a cultural tour that unites us all with our ancestral homeland, regardless of our specific tribe or ethnic background.

Olá Roots in
Guinea-Bissau Family!

We are pleased to share that several African Americans have received final approval by the government of Guinea- Bissau for citizenship this week. Their names were approved at a recent cabinet meeting. There has not been a formal citizenship ceremony planned or approved by the government yet. However, per our previous communication with representatives from the government. The following steps will be required to complete the citizenship process and receive a passport and Bissau Guinean identification:

1. Passports and identification cards must be obtained within the country. The fees for these documents are currently unknown and are not included in the initial citizenship cost.
2. Each person that has had their application approved by the cabinet will be eligible to receive a Bissau Guinean Birth Certificate. This is the document that will allow you to receive your passport and Identification card.
3. There has been a non-governmental steering committee established to develop a process to aid in the acquisition of official citizenship documentation and potentially plan an informal citizenship ceremony, for those that have been approved. However, those processes are now still in development.
4. Roots in Guinea-Bissau has resources on the ground in Guinea Bissau that are willing to assist until formal processes have been established. If you're planning to visit Guinea-Bissau before these processes are finalized, you can confidently book documentation assistant services with Mario, Yama, and Sufri here:
