Visa Note

(a) Visitors to Somaliland should register with their embassy or high commission representing their country in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and to other parts of Somalia with their embassy or high commission in Nairobi, Kenya. (b) Upon arrival, all visitors (except those under 18 years of age) must exchange US$100 or equivalent into local currency. Please note that the exact amount to be exchanged may vary according to region. (c) Nationals not referred to in the chart above are advised to contact the embassy to check visa requirements (see Contact Addresses).

The Somali Embassy in London closed in 1992, due to the civil war. Somalia is now effectively treated as three different areas for visas. Contact the UK Somaliland Mission for visas for Somaliland and the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism for visas for Puntland (see Contact Addresses). For the rest of Somalia, contact the Somali embassies in Kenya, Egypt, Djibouti or Tanzania.

Types of Visa and Cost

Contact your nearest embassy or mission for further information. Prices vary according to nationality and part of Somalia visted.

Validity

Dependent on nationality.
