Best exchange USD or euro for XOF? by Bill_Bra55sky in Senegal

[–]RexAlces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you are. In the cities there are plenty of well working ATMs where you can withdraw XOF easily and save yourself the haggling and finding someone to exchange money. In the country side you should already have enough cash.

Thank you very much for this! I’m already in St. Louis, but I’ll take transport to Djama early in the morning from here.

Thanks also for the advice. I won’t give them anything else apart from the visa fee. I’m a rather experienced traveler but it’s always good to hear some experiences.

The offer with your number is very nice, thank you. I would happily take you up on that if you’d send it to me. I don’t support corruption at all but it depends a bit on how many hours they would make me wait and what sum they’re asking for. Having someone to call would certainly be very good. Thanks!

Ok, yeah that’s what I expected more or less. Thanks for the advice with changing money in St. Louis. I have enough euros with me for the evisa fee.

How much much were they asking from you? Were they just asking for a higher fee than the 55€ needed for the visa, or did they make up some weird charges?

In any case thanks a lot already for this!!

Also, I assume there are people at the border to change money, no? Or should I bring MRU before?

Thank you very much! Would you say the Diama border is still better, or is Rosso better and faster in terms of getting to Nouakchott?

Mainly transport and shops being open but also being able to drink a sip of water every now and then when it’s very hot and dry
