Arriving in Somalia
Prepare for your arrival by checking the entry permission required for your passport, nationality and arrival airport. Check Somalia's E-Visa/ETAS requirements with the Immigration and Citizenship Agency before you book, and again before you depart.
Start with official guidance
Visit the Immigration and Citizenship Agency's official website for current application requirements and the link to its E-Visa/ETAS service. Read the latest instructions before entering passport details or making a payment.
If an application is needed, enter your passport and travel details carefully, review the documents requested and allow time for processing. Keep the approval with the passport used to apply. A submitted application or payment receipt is not an approved entry permission.
Confirm your arrival airport
Departure checks and entry permission can differ between airports, so confirm arrival requirements with the relevant authority.
When asking Somali Airlines about airline document checks, tell us your nationality, travel-document type and arrival airport. Immigration authorities remain responsible for visa and admission decisions.
Before departure
Recheck the requirements, carry your approval and supporting documents, and confirm the rules for your return or onward journey. Keep your host's or accommodation's contact details accessible for arrival formalities.
