Djibouti visas

Whether you need a visa for Djibouti depends on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. Most travellers apply through the government's official e-Visa portal (evisa.gouv.dj) for short tourism, business or transit trips, while employment, study, family reunification and stays over 90 days are handled through Djiboutian embassies and consulates and, once in-country, through residence and work-authorisation procedures. Immigration and entry are overseen by the Republic of Djibouti's authorities under the Ministry of the Interior, and the e-Visa portal and the national e-government site (egouv.dj) are the official reference points.
