Overview Burkina Faso is listed in the Visa Atlas directory with stable ISO codes BF/BFA, capital Ouagadougou. This directory covers 196 countries: the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See, the State of Palestine and Kosovo. That is a chosen editorial scope, not a universally accepted count — recognition and membership differ between organisations and governments, and listing a place here implies no political position.
Official resources One ministry publishes both the visa information and immigration matters for this country, so a separate immigration agency is not listed.
A working link is not proof of official status, and a reachable page is not expert review. Confirm every rule on the government site itself before you travel.
Which body handles visas here Burkina Faso's visa and residence formalities are handled by the national police rather than a separate immigration department. The police service page and the government eVisa site are both on record; the foreign ministry covers consular matters.
