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.

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