Tourism eVisa (Visa Touristique Électronique)

Established in February 2018, the Djibouti Tourism eVisa was created to simplify entry procedures for leisure travelers and boost the country's tourism sector. By moving the application process online, the government addressed the administrative burden of traditional embassy-based visa issuance and the unpredictability of the former visa-on-arrival system. This digital initiative provides a secure, accessible, and faster pathway for international visitors to explore Djibouti’s unique landscapes, cultural heritage, and coastal attractions.

This visa is intended for leisure travelers visiting Djibouti for sightseeing, cultural experiences, or recreational activities. It is the ideal choice for tourists planning a short-term visit who want to avoid the inconvenience of in-person embassy visits. Applicants must possess a passport with at least six months of validity and provide a flight reservation. It is distinct for being a straightforward, single-entry electronic permit that allows visitors to enjoy the country's natural beauty and hospitality with minimal bureaucratic delay.
