Visitors from all countries require a visa when travelling
to Djibouti. A valid passport, visa, and evidence of yellow fever vaccination
are required for entry in the Republic of Djibouti. Those travelling by
air can obtain 3-day visas at Ambouli International Airport for 10,000
Djiboutian francs ($60) or 30-day visas can be obtained for 15,000
Djiboutian Francs ($90). It is, however, advisable to obtain visas prior to
travel to Djibouti whenever possible. Inquiries may be made at the
nearest Djiboutian embassy or consulate. In countries where there is no
Djiboutian diplomatic representation, travellers may sometimes obtain visas at
the French Embassy. The validity of the Djiboutian visa is also the amount
of time one may stay in the country without a residency permit. If one
overstays his/her visa validity, an exit tax of 10,000 Djiboutian francs
($60) may be required. Djiboutian airport taxes of $60 are typically added into
the cost of an airline ticket by travel agents. Tickets purchased online,
however, sometimes fail to account for this charge and it may be requested at
check-in. Any airport/visa/customs fees must be paid in cash.
All visitors are strongly encouraged to visit their nearest Djibouti
consulate and check for the requirements to obtain a visa. The above-mentioned
information is to be used as a guide only.
