🇩🇯 Djibouti Visa Procedures
Dear visitor, welcome.
For citizens of the Republic of Türkiye who plan to travel to Djibouti for tourism, business, or family visit purposes, obtaining a visa before entering the country is mandatory. Holders of diplomatic (black), special (green), and service (grey) passports are exempt from visas for stays not exceeding 90 days, while holders of ordinary (burgundy) passports are required to obtain a visa. This group can easily complete their applications electronically and receive their visas in a short time. Djibouti visas are not affixed to passports but are issued electronically. Approved electronic visas are official documents containing a special QR code and can be used by printing from any printer to be carried during travel.
