Who Needs a Djibouti Visa
How nationality and purpose decide whether you travel visa-free, use the e-Visa, or need an embassy visa.
Important
Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. A limited number of nationalities can enter visa-free for short stays; most others need an e-Visa for tourism, business or transit.
The e-Visa cannot be used for employment or study — those purposes, along with family reunification and stays over 90 days, require a long-stay visa from an embassy or consulate. Holders of diplomatic, official and service passports may have separate arrangements, including on-arrival issuance.
