Israel to Djibouti visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa for Djibouti and should apply for the official Djibouti eVisa online before travel. There is no reliable visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Israelis; the eVisa is the recommended and standard route for a short tourist stay. Djibouti is not a Schengen country and does not waive visas for Israeli citizens. Israel is, however, on the list of nationalities eligible to apply for Djibouti's electronic visa (eVisa), launched in February 2018 and administered through the official government portal. For tourism, travelers apply for the single-entry short-stay eVisa (valid 15-90 days, US$23) or the transit eVisa (1-14 days, US$12). Although a visa on arrival technically exists, it is subject to airline boarding discretion and the government explicitly recommends applying for the eVisa in advance. Israel and Djibouti have no formal diplomatic relations, but this does not currently block Israeli nationals from obtaining the tourist eVisa. Standard processing runs about 3-5 business days; applicants are advised to apply at least 10 business days before departure. Passports must be valid for at least six months with at least one blank page. Travelers should verify entry conditions close to departure, as policy toward Israeli nationals in the region can change.
