Malaysia to Djibouti visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Djibouti, but they can apply online for an eVisa before travel. Djibouti is not visa-free or visa-waiver for Malaysia. Apply through the official government portal at evisa.gouv.dj. The short-stay tourist eVisa (15-90 days) costs USD 23 and is single-entry. The eVisa is valid for arrivals by air at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport; entry by land or sea requires an embassy-issued visa. A Malaysian (MY) ordinary passport holder requires a visa to enter Djibouti for tourism. Djibouti is not in the Schengen area and offers no visa-free or visa-waiver arrangement to Malaysian nationals. Since 2018 Djibouti has run an electronic visa (eVisa) system, which remains operational in 2026 and is the recommended and most reliable channel for short tourist visits. Travelers apply online at the official government portal (evisa.gouv.dj), upload a passport bio-data page, photo, and proof of onward travel and accommodation, pay by card, and receive the approved eVisa by email to print and present on arrival. Two main categories exist: a transit eVisa (1-14 days) at USD 12 and a short-stay tourist/business eVisa (15-90 days) at USD 23, both single-entry. The eVisa is accepted only for arrivals by air at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport; travelers entering overland or by sea must obtain a visa in advance from a Djiboutian diplomatic mission. A visa-on-arrival channel has historically existed but its availability for ordinary passport holders is uncertain in 2026 and is at the discretion of the airline and immigration officers, so pre-clearing with an eVisa is strongly advised. Passports must be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival with at least two blank pages. Standard eVisa processing is roughly 72 hours, but applying 10-14 days before departure is recommended to allow for backlogs.
