Somalia and Somaliland have officially introduced a strict mandatory e-Visa system for all foreign travelers. Whether you are visiting for tourism, business, humanitarian work, or transit, the new regulation requires every international visitor to secure an approved e-Visa before boarding any flight. Airlines are no longer permitted to allow passengers to travel without this digital visa, and immigration authorities will not grant entry at any airport without it.

This new measure is part of a broader effort to streamline travel documentation, enhance border security, and create a more reliable verification process for visitors entering the region.

Why the New E-Visa Matters

- No Entry Without E-Visa: Travelers arriving without an approved e-Visa will be denied entry.
- No Boarding Without E-Visa: Airlines have been instructed not to accept passengers lacking the verified document.
- Faster and More Secure Processing: The system centralizes all visa applications, making it smoother for government authorities and travelers alike.

For tourists planning to visit the cultural treasures of Somaliland—such as the world-famous Laas Geel caves—or those heading to the vibrant cities of Somalia, this change makes advance preparation essential.
