Electronic Travel Authorization (eTAS) for Travel to Somalia
Most visitors travelling to Somalia are required to hold a valid electronic Travel Authorization (eTAS) prior to arrival. The eTAS is a digital entry permit linked to your passport and is processed online in advance of your trip, removing the need to obtain a physical visa at a Somali mission abroad.
Somali Airlines recommends applying as early as possible, as processing times may vary during periods of high demand.
Complete the online application in advance of travel, allowing sufficient processing time before your departure date
Provide your passport details, travel dates, and contact information exactly as they appear on your travel documents
Pay the applicable eTAS fee securely online and retain your approval confirmation, which should be carried (printed or digital) for presentation on arrival
Ensure your approved eTAS matches the passport you will actually travel on
