Djibouti Evisa: More information

All foreign citizens travelling to Djibouti must apply for a visa at the embassy or an electronic visa before entering the country.

The only nationalities exempt from visa requirements are Singapore and China. All other citizens are required to apply for a visa. Most nationalities can apply for a visa online, which has been available since 2018. This visa greatly speeds up the application process and avoids unnecessary travel.

Depending on which Djibouti e-Visa you apply for, it will allow you to stay for up to 14 or 90 days as a tourist or to carry out business activities. In either case, the visa allows only a single entry to the country.
