- Who it's for
- Travelers visiting Djibouti who hold an ordinary passport. The government opens the eVisa to everyone except holders of diplomatic, service or official passports and those covered by a courtesy visa program.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, business and transit are all covered by the same eVisa. Work and study require a traditional embassy visa instead.
- How you travel
- A visa is not needed if you remain in the airside transit area. Travelers who clear immigration during a layover apply on the same eVisa under its shorter tier.
- Delivery format
- An electronic visa sent as a PDF once approved. Print it and keep it with your passport for the whole trip, and travel on the passport you applied with.
- Good to know
- Every child needs their own eVisa, even when recorded in a parent's passport. It cannot be amended after issue and it cannot be extended, so staying longer means applying to the local police for a permit to stay.
- Validity
- Valid for 90 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 30 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 12 days

Djibouti visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Djibouti Tourist eVisa.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Can I use the Djibouti eVisa at land borders or seaports?
No. The Djibouti eVisa is strictly valid for air travel entry through Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport. If you try to enter via land borders or seaports, immigration officials will deny you entry.
Does the validity of my Djibouti eVisa start from the issue date or arrival date?
It starts from the specific arrival date you enter on your application form. However, you can't stay past the maximum duration granted, and you must exit the country by the departure date specified in your initial request.
Can I seek employment or convert my Tourist eVisa into a work permit inside Djibouti?
No. The Tourist eVisa is strictly for leisure, sightseeing, or visiting family. It doesn't permit any remunerative work activities, and you can't convert it into a residence or work permit while you're in the country.
Can I update my passport details on an approved Djibouti eVisa if I notice an error?
No. Once the government issues your eVisa, you can't alter any personal or passport data. If you notice a typo or your information doesn't exactly match your passport, you must file a completely new application and pay the fee again.
Do children/minors need their own Djibouti Tourist eVisa?
Yes. There aren't any age exemptions for this visa; every traveler, including infants, must have their own individual visa. For minors, you must upload a birth certificate and, if traveling with only one parent, a notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent.
Do I need a visa to transit in Djibouti?
If you're remaining in the airport transit area, you don't need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the airport or have a long layover where you clear immigration, a Transit eVisa (valid for up to 14 days) is required and is more cost-effective than the 90-day Tourist eVisa.
How will I receive the Djibouti Tourist eVisa?
Once your Djibouti Tourist eVisa application is approved, you’ll receive an email. We recommend printing a physical copy to present at the border point of entry (Djibouti) and keep it with your passport throughout your trip.
How long does the Djibouti Tourist eVisa processing take?
The Djibouti Tourist eVisa is usually processed quickly. With iVisa, you can get your Djibouti Tourist eVisa in as fast as 12 days. We recommend applying at least 7 days before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.
What happens if my Djibouti Tourist eVisa application is denied?
If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reason for denial is blurry passport scans. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information. iVisa offers denial protection. Our experts manually review your application before submission to prevent issues.
iVisa vs. the official Djibouti process
Why travelers choose iVisa
On your own
- The government portal requires you to create an account and verify your email before you can open the form.
- No corrections are possible once a visa is issued, and the fee is not refunded, so a typo means starting over and paying again.
- The form has no middle-name field, and the official workaround is buried in the FAQ.
- The official site is available in English and French only.
- A contact form, two phone numbers and a WhatsApp line with no published hours, on a working week where the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday.
- No account to create. You can start straight away as a guest.
- We check your details against your passport before we submit, because there is no way back from a mistake here.
- We handle the form's quirks for you rather than leaving you to find them.
- Guidance in a much wider range of languages.
- Round-the-clock human support, whatever day you are applying.
