Just got through, no worries.
They even didn't care about us.

It theems, that since 2024 the Checkpoints have the order to be nice & friendly to european tourist.
All Checkpoints (about 10 in GB) were friendly.

They wanted to stamp my cdp again and asking for 2000, completely unnecessary. I told them it’s not needed for a few minutes and then they let me go.

Just asked for documents, small talk and go. No problems

They ask for your passavant, then go inside with it and stamp it. I think it's not worth the time and effort for 1000cfa to make a big problem.

No problem but as it’s said be careful to have all your documents, they asked for everything. We had a passavant, they insisted to stamp it (not needed but why not) didn’t ask for money but I could tell he was about too. We are two girls so I think it helps with corruption ! Just be aware :)

Zero problem here. Paid FCFA 1000 for stamp in carnet. Be careful though as they may try to stamp on the exit side...at entry GB Customs stamped on the back of the previous page. Tell them to stamp there. They were very insistent on stamping something.

No issues today. They simply waved at me while passing with the bicycle.

Police asked for passe avant (make sure to get it at customs after border!) and passport, but as everything was in order we were quickly allowed to continue.

Police invent document they say you need, also say insurance is wrong. Ask for 75 euro to leave. Make sure you have all papers. Make sure you get passavant or a note for Guinea-Bissau as douane says you do not need but police will fine you. Make sure you have CEDEAO insurance that's states every country. Beware of this checkpoint
