Entry requirements
- Since September 1, 2025, Somalia has implemented a mandatory Electronic Travel Authorization System (eTAS) for all foreign visitors.
- The e-visa must be obtained through the official Somali immigration portal (evisa.gov.so) prior to boarding.
- Travelers without an approved e-visa or eTAS confirmation will be denied entry by the airline.
Stay
Standard tourist e-visas typically permit a stay of up to 30 days.
Passport
Passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the planned arrival date with one blank page.
Health — Yellow fever
A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory given CAR's endemic status.
Be cautious of unofficial sites; only use the gov.so portal for official e-visa applications. Reports of system breaches have been noted with some unofficial service providers.
