How to Apply for a Djibouti Visa

The two main paths — the online e-Visa for short tourism, business or transit trips, and embassy/consulate visas for work, study, family and any stay over 90 days.

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Djibouti runs a split system. For short visits (tourism, business/commerce or transit), most travellers apply online through the official e-Visa portal at evisa.gouv.dj, pay electronically and receive the approved e-Visa by email to print and carry with their passport.

For employment, study, family reunification or any stay longer than 90 days, you apply for a long-stay visa at a Djiboutian embassy or consulate before travelling. After arriving, foreigners staying more than three months must obtain a residence card, and those working must also hold a work authorisation.
