Frequently Asked Questions
What visa do US citizens need to enter Djibouti?
US citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Djibouti. Djibouti offers an e-Visa system that allows online application before departure at evisa.gouv.dj. The e-Visa is valid for a single entry stay of up to 31 days. Alternatively a visa on arrival is available at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport though the e-Visa is strongly recommended to avoid airport queues. AA Passport & Visa in Richardson TX helps Dallas residents apply for the Djibouti e-Visa correctly. Call 972-231-1600.
What makes Djibouti unique as a travel destination from Dallas?
Djibouti is one of the least visited countries in the world which makes it genuinely off the beaten path. Its main draws include Lake Assal which sits 509 feet below sea level making it the lowest point in Africa and the saltiest lake outside Antarctica, the lunar landscapes of Lac Abbe with its towering chimneys, whale shark snorkeling in the Bay of Ghoubbet from November to January, and the vibrant multicultural capital city. For adventurous DFW travelers looking for something truly different Djibouti delivers experiences found nowhere else.
What documents do I need for a Djibouti visa application?
For the Djibouti e-Visa you need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your entry date, a recent digital passport photo, a scan of your passport bio page, your travel dates and accommodation address in Djibouti, a return flight itinerary, and payment for the e-Visa fee. For a consulate visa additional documents may be required. AA Passport & Visa reviews all documents at our Richardson TX office. Call 972-231-1600 for assistance.
How long does a Djibouti visa take to process from Dallas TX?
The Djibouti e-Visa is typically processed within 3 to 5 business days. Apply at least 2 weeks before your travel date to allow time for any corrections. Visa on arrival at Djibouti airport is available but involves queuing and is not guaranteed during busy periods. AA Passport & Visa advises getting the e-Visa before departing Dallas. Call 972-231-1600 if your travel date is approaching soon.

Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from a yellow fever endemic country. It is not required for travelers coming directly from the United States.
