Mexico to Djibouti visa requirements

Q: Can Mexican citizens enter Djibouti without a visa?

No. Mexico is not on Djibouti's visa-exemption list (only Singapore is visa-free). Mexican ordinary passport holders must obtain an eVisa before travel.

Q: How long can I stay in Djibouti on a tourist eVisa?

The tourism/short-stay eVisa allows stays of up to 30 days. Extensions may be requested through the immigration directorate before expiry.

Q: Is there a visa on arrival in Djibouti?

A visa on arrival has historically been available at Ambouli Airport, but the government recommends applying for the eVisa in advance. The eVisa is the reliable official route and is required for the smoothest entry.

Q: Does the eVisa work for land or sea entry?

No. The Djibouti eVisa is valid only for air arrivals at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport. Land and sea entries require a visa issued by a Djiboutian diplomatic mission.

Q: How much does the Djibouti eVisa cost for Mexicans?

The government charge is about USD 23 for the short-stay (15-90 day) category, plus a service fee. Total cost on the official platform is typically in the USD 23-80 range depending on options.

Q: How long does eVisa processing take?

Standard processing is usually up to 72 hours. An urgent option delivers results in about 2-4 working days for an extra fee. Apply several days before departure to be safe.

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a visa for Djibouti, but they can obtain it conveniently through the official Djibouti eVisa system before travel. There is no visa-free entry for Mexican citizens (only Singapore is visa-exempt). As of 2026, Mexico is not on Djibouti's visa-exemption list (only Singapore enjoys visa-free access). Mexican ordinary passport holders traveling for tourism must obtain a Djibouti eVisa through the official government platform (evisa.gouv.dj) before departure. The short-stay tourist eVisa permits stays of up to 30 days and is valid for travelers arriving by air at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport. The government charge is approximately USD 23 for the short-stay (15-90 day) category, with additional service and optional expedited-processing fees on the official online platform. Standard processing is typically up to 72 hours, with urgent options delivering results in 2-4 working days. A visa on arrival has historically existed at the airport, but the government strongly recommends applying for the eVisa in advance, and the eVisa channel is the reliable, official route. Note that the eVisa is exclusive to air arrivals; land and sea entries require an embassy-issued visa. Applicants need a passport valid at least 6 months beyond arrival, a digital photo, proof of accommodation, and a return/onward flight booking.
