Indonesia to Djibouti visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Djibouti. They are not visa-exempt. The recommended channel is the government eVisa applied for online before travel; the short-stay (tourist) eVisa costs USD 23 and is issued for stays of 15-90 days. A USD 23 visa on arrival also exists at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport, but the government recommends the eVisa and VOA reliability varies, so apply online before you fly. As of mid-2026, Indonesia (ordinary passport) is not on Djibouti's small visa-exempt list, so a visa is required for tourism. Djibouti operates an electronic visa (eVisa) introduced in 2018, available for tourism and commerce, with two short-stay tiers: a transit visa (1-14 days, USD 12) and a short-stay visa (15-90 days, USD 23). The Djiboutian government officially recommends the eVisa over visa on arrival. Visa on arrival at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport (Ambouli, DJI) is also widely available for ordinary passport holders at USD 23, though officially the government lists only diplomatic/official/service passports as VOA-eligible and reports of inconsistent acceptance mean the eVisa is the safer route. The U.S. State Department notes the eVisa site remains operational but has had occasional application-processing glitches, so apply early. The eVisa and VOA are intended for air arrivals via Ambouli International Airport; land and sea border entries generally require an embassy-issued visa. A passport valid at least six months beyond arrival, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate (if arriving from an endemic area) are standard requirements. Given source variability in 2025-2026, the conservative recommendation is to obtain the eVisa online before departure.
