Senegal in brief
Senegal is a French-speaking country in West Africa with the CFA franc (XOF) as its currency, whose fixed peg to the euro is guaranteed by the Franc Zone (BCEAO). For citizens of ECOWAS/CEDEAO member states, a free-movement regime applies: visa-free entry and the right to reside and work without a separate work permit - based on the Community's 1979, 1986 and 1990 protocols. For other foreigners staying more than 3 months, a carte de résident is required, issued through the Direction de la Police des étrangers et des titres de voyage under the Ministry of the Interior. Since 2024 the country has become an oil-and-gas producer: industrial production began at the offshore Sangomar field, and gas exports launched from the Grande Tortue Ahmeyim field shared with Mauritania. Malaria is present throughout the country. Some visa, family and employment procedures could not be confirmed against primary sources - the official websites of several relevant agencies did not respond to requests or did not contain the necessary sections at the time of research.
