Family/Social Visit eVisa (Visa de Visite Familiale Électronique)

The Djibouti Family/Social Visit eVisa is an electronic travel authorization specifically designed for foreign nationals who intend to visit family members, relatives, or friends currently residing in the Republic of Djibouti. This visa category is also suitable for those traveling to attend social events, such as weddings, cultural ceremonies, or other private gatherings. It streamlines the entry process by allowing applicants to secure their travel authorization online, eliminating the need for a physical visit to a Djiboutian embassy or consulate prior to their departure.

This visa is strictly for non-commercial and non-employment purposes. Applicants are required to provide documentation verifying their accommodation, which can be either a confirmed hotel reservation or a formal invitation letter from their host in Djibouti. The visa is issued for short-term stays and is linked electronically to the traveler's passport. Upon arrival at a legal border crossing or Ambouli International Airport, travelers must present a printed copy of their approved eVisa along with their valid passport to immigration officials for entry clearance.
